Two things depending on which way your laptop works. Some internal audio 
setups will show the speakers (sometimes labeled "Front") and headphones 
as two levels and just turning up the level you need will fix this. Others 
don't. In this case try looking at this:

Using hda_analyzer to find out which pins your system uses seems to be the 
hardest part.
