The sound on my HP dv2000 was pretty quiet since I upgraded to Ubuntu 7.04, even if the volume control was maxed out; this was annoying especially when playing music. The way to fix this is to run alsamixer in the terminal as sudo. It looks like the screen snap below. Just use the left and right arrows to find the device for your sound card and then increase the volume for that. Prego!
