If they are set too low, raising the PulseAudio sound levels may not work acceptably. For this contingency, the old gstreamer-based volume application is also available by default. It is available under the name Advanced Volume Control, in the Sound & Video menu section. You will also need to use this application if you need to select an input channel for recording (for instance, line-in or mic-in). How to report this problem
