I was able to adjust sound output on my K5 with amixer, and with alsamixer (text GUI) commands (built-in). It is a bit louder, but still rather quiet when doing:

cat 8k8bmono.wav|aplay

It is much too quiet with headphones, even with all volume controls set to max using those tools.

On the K5, alsamixer is full color on SSH, but on the K3 it is only monochrome.

Hmm... after playing with K3 alsamixer and increasing several headphone and speaker volumes, now I do not get any sound output.

UPDATE: Rebooting the K3 made the sound work again.
