I had similiar problems in KDE with that chip.  Try opening up a full-featured 
mixer in gnome ( I use KMix & Kmix Sound Mixer applet in KDE ), and adjusting 
various mixer levels.  I found a couple that were rather cryptic, but 
absolutly required for sound playback.

The key one was akin to a "pre-amp" that modifies audio levels before it gets 
to the regular volume control.

Regards,

Mark
