I just chnaged from windows XP to Linux Mandrake on KDE
(yes now i'm worshipping linux DIE WINDOWS DIE!!!!!)

My porblem is when i had XP and i turned up my volume half way (on the speakers) And it would shake the whole house ,, Now I turn it all the way up and its like a quarter of what it was before.

Whats the cause of this.....Can i Fix it..If yes....How
