Mainly. So not always?
Do you experience this "low volume" when playing
just regular audio? For example, if you have sox installed,
try playing 'play -n synth 10 sin 220' (which is a saturated sin wave).

mpv (or any other player, for that matter)
can have its own volume settings. If these are set low,
maxing out outputs.master will not help you much.
So how is mpv's volume set during this playback?

I don't know what an ALSA boost device is,
but the name suggests some kind of amplification.
