I've figured out that the low volume is mainly due to different settings for DAC in alsamixer:
- 100<>100 [dB gain: 0.00, 0.00] in Debian stretch (stock OS), which is VERY loud
- 32<>32 [dB gain: -30.00, -30.00] in Debian bullseye (via danielt's installer)
This doesn't fix the popping noises, whose loudness is independent of any settings in alsamixer, and which seem to occur whenever audio switches from inactive to active or vice versa.
