   If you run "alsamixer", it shows just one control for volume.   
      
   That's because the device selection is set to "Default".   
      
   If the device selection is set to RealTek, you can get   
   more of the old ALSA mixer. I have to make the panel wider, to   
   see all of them.

   There is a Line Boost, but it is unclear whether that is   
   LineIN or LineOUT.   
      
   I think the controls used to be "Master" and "PCM", but my   
   "PCM" is already 100% and so some other control will be   
   needed to provide more boost than that. The HDAudio has gain   
   blocks in it, so it should be able to compensate for the   
   Hollywood -15dB problem.
