Is possible to amplify the system sound with software, without losing sound quality?I want it for videos and,especially,for listening to music. What programs for Ubuntu 12.04 can do this?

For what use case do you need this? Many audio tools ship their own set of amplifiers so if you want to listen to music / watch video the answers will be very different to if you want to play games and have your teamspeak amplified. Please do provide more detail on what you do and how you would want to change it.– Angelo FuchsCommented Mar 14, 2014 at 19:42

Please edit your question to state all of your requirements. You already tried Pulseaudio volume control and found it unsatisfactory — so you need to mention that in your question, and explain why it isn't suitable! By not doing this, you're wasting our time finding suggestions that don't help you.– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 21:06

You can use the sound server PulseAudio Volume Control (aka. pavucontrol and previously known as Polypaudio):
- free
- run on Ubuntu (KDE/Gnome)
- amplify the sound (default max boost: ~150%)
- however the higher the amplification, the more distorted the sound will be
FYI if you want to go over the default max boost (~150%): see this thread.
