Here attached a simple sample code to set the volume.
Try to save it as "pcavolume.c", compile it and use, for example:
./pcavolume 500
(though the message in the code says that volume must be 0-100,
much larger values can actually be specified.)
Still low? Then try 1000, 2000 ..., as large as can be stored into
"int". :-)
ps.
I'd like to recommend you to buy a sound card and use it instead of
pcaudio which uses your "beep" hardware. (The "beep" hardware is
not designed for high-quality audio sounds :-)
Cheers,
