Have you tried increasing the volume via the button in the top right 
corner? There are different settings. Alternatively run

# alsamixer

Push up the volume for the different settings and press q to quit. Try 
again. Note that only open formats are supported by default. If you want 
  support for other content refer to guides like these:
