When I have a source open, whether a video on a browser or a recording
or live broadcast from Mythtv, the volume is too low. When I open the Pulseaudio volume control, the default settings appear to be 100%. i
need something like 133%.

I can move the slider but it doesn't stay. Is there somewhere that I
can change the default?

If you run "alsamixer", it shows just one control for volume.

That's because the device selection is set to "Default".

If the device selection is set to RealTek, you can get
more of the old ALSA mixer. I have to make the panel wider, to
see all of them.

There is a Line Boost, but it is unclear whether that is
LineIN or LineOUT.

I think the controls used to be "Master" and "PCM", but my
"PCM" is already 100% and so some other control will be
needed to provide more boost than that. The HDAudio has gain
blocks in it, so it should be able to compensate for the
Hollywood -15dB problem.

There is another panel applet, sound150. It allows you to push it past 100% to 150%.
Remove the standard sound applet and install sound150.

It took me a while to realise what you meant but actually it was so simple and worked.

Thank you,
