   Why don't you first try to change the mixer settings ?   
   Use "unimix.exe" for help on the parameters.   
   Use "unimix.exe -names" to get the IDs (and names) of the controls you can   
   manipulate.   
   You can then subsequently use "unimix.exe -id2 -val100" or the like to change   
   the value.   
   You will need to fumble around with it a little. You want to increase the   
   master playback volume   
   + potentially the PCM playback volume.   
   Search google on its use.
