After upgrading to 9.11 release I suddenly got very low sound level - on mp3/flac music files. DTS/Dolby movies were OK.
alsamixer was at maximum.
Then I noticed "setvolume" option in grub menu (near "nodiskautomount", which reappeared as well after upgrade).
I removed this "setvolume", and oops - everything works as before.
So, I don't know what this "setvolume" should do (probably something good), but if you, like me, are puzzled with this "no music" feature of 9.11 release - try to remove this flag, may be it will help.
