Ever since I got my Asus eee PC 1000HE installed with eeebuntu linux I have had problems with very low volume on the speaker, even tho the speaker volume slider was showing max volume. I didn’t spend much time investigating why this was, just accepting it. But today I found the solution to it, and it was very easy. Just right-click the speaker icon, select preferences. A new windows pops up, if you select the “LineOut” device by clicking it, and then click the speaker icon again to adjust the volume slider you will notice it’s only at 50%. Just set this up to 100% and you will have all the volume you need.

I bought myself an Asus EEE PC 1000HE yesterday, probably the best netbook out right now. Cheap, nice design, light weight, good performance and amazing battery capacity. It came with a 160 Gb HDD with Windows XP Home pre-installed on it, something I ofcourse did not want, I had my eyes on Ubuntu but it proved to be abit of a challenge to get it installed.
The netbook ofcourse comes with no CD/DVD drive or disk drive, so options to install another operating system is to boot on network (PXE/BOOTP) or by USB-memory of some kind, but both are abit difficult to get it working. Also, even if you get it booting you will find that the Ubuntu installer does not find any disk to install to. There is a good page with installation guides of different methods, but none of them really worked for me since I couldn’t boot on my USB-disk and the network installation image did not recognize the network interface. Too bad because I like network installations. Here’s how I did it…
