   Sound level in AC3 streams is purosely very low, in order to allow
for greater dynamics (explosion sounds for instance). You will need to
increase the volume of your sound system (sound card and amplifier).
Doing this in software (ie, at the vlc level) would result in distortion
and saturation for high volume scenes.
