I have a similar issue on Debian 9 (Stretch) on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th
Gen laptop.
DMI: LENOVO 20KHCTO1WW/20KHCTO1WW, BIOS N23ET63W (1.38 ) 04/20/2019
The built-in speaker volume is limited to about 20% even if the volume
is set at 100%.
The sound card is a ALC285 handled by the snd_hda_intel driver.
On my kernel (4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u2
(2019-05-13)), I managed to find this work-around which addresses the
low volume issue:
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=nofixup
After modprobe -r/modprobe of the snd_hda_intel module (or reboot), the
volume works fine.
Hopefully this can help others facing this open issue as well.
Here is the output of lspci -vvv for the sound card:

Title:
low sound volume
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
this is a thinkpad x1 carbon 3rd gen running xubuntu 15.04
sound volume is very low compared to windows (dual boot), even with
alsa and pulseaudio controls set to 100% (or greater).
this applies to all apps.
i can get really loud sound with:
pactl set-sink-volume 1 300000
but then it is very distorted.
