As usual I suspect Pulseaudio as the culprit, as it can be responsible for low
volume levels.
First though, open alsamixer as user in a terminal, as below.
alsamixer -D hw:0
Assuming that your card is card0, this should show all sliders for your
soundcard. Check for ones like, Master, PCM, Front, CD, which should be up.
If all's ok in alsamixer, try disabling Pulseaudio (unless you particularly
want it), by removing the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, then reboot, and
see if the sound levels are any better.
Thanks, Nigel and David. After having played a bit with alsamixer, I
got the audio back to its usual volume. I do not know how was it
changed without my intervention...
