Just to make sure, open a terminal and alsamixer, then check AIF1 DAC timeslot 0 volume = ca. 65, DAC Volume = ca. 60 and Speaker Volume ca. 80-90 , those settings usually work for me. Overall the speakers are not super loud and it is better to use headphones/earplugs, but in normal environments you should easily hear something ;-)
