I can't get the sound to play above a whisper on my newish laptop.  It
has two sound channels, one for internal speakers, one for the plug,
and it's the same problem for both.  Every software sound control, of
which there are several, is set to the max.  The hardware is fine, it
works correctly under Windows (sigh.)

Here's dmesg's opinion of what it's got.

hdac0: <Intel 82801I High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xf2620000-0xf2623fff irq 17 at device 27.0 on pci0
hdac0: HDA Driver Revision: 20090624_0136
hdac0: [ITHREAD]

I see that the hda driver has a vast array of options, suggesting that
something is defaulting wrong.  Any suggestions?

Here's what it's got now, from the pindump:
