I have tried installing oss and i get this error:

OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels

Building module osscore ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (osscore_mainline.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (/lib/modules/4.10.0-32-generic/kernel/oss/osscore.ko) is not supported Linking the osscore module failed

Also tried, installing pulseaudio-equalizer from this post Realtek Audio Drivers for Ubuntu but didn't solve the problem.

If anybody have any other idea, please suggest.

Edit #1: This is the screenshot of alsamixer. enter image description here

Low sound level is most likely to be due to level settings in ALSA or Pulseaudio. If Pulseaudio is set higher than 100% will cause distortion in sound. Combine that with a low level setting in ALSA and you get low volume and distortion.

Use pavucontrol Pulseaudio Mixer to check Pulseaudio levels. Panel volume controls and other mixers don't always show all the control options.

Use command alsamixer in terminal to check/adjust ALSA levels. There are other audio mixers that show ALSA levels, but posting a screenshot of alsamixer will be best option to get more help

    Increasing sound over 100% in pavucontrol also helped. Sep 3, 2017 at 12:11

In the default Sound panel, increasing the output volume over 100% in the Output tab for "Speakers-Built in Audio". The maximum volume is 153% which is high enough for listening normal videos/songs.
