I would say, check your mixer settings again. If everthing has been
set for maximum volume and you find that the volume is still low, then
you have two options:

(a) Do a usenet search (I use www.deja.com) for ES1371, linux and volume.
(b) Look into the sources linux/drivers/sound/es1371.c and see if you
    can play around with some of the stuff over there. 
    Surgeon general's warning: If you don't know how to restore things if 
    you screw up, don't do this.

    I see suspicious stuff about

#define AC97_PESSIMISTIC
 
/*

#undef OSS_DOCUMENTED_MIXER_SEMANTICS 

How often do you wish that we had a Torvalds or an Alan Cox answering 
queries on this list ;-) ?
