Hi david, and thanks for your time!
attached the output for PULSE_NO_SIMD=1 pulseaudio -vvvv
On the log session I launch pulseaudio, then play with the volumebar of gnome-volume-control, open an audio file with totem(sound ok) and closes the session.
I realized that the problem is about the volume,if I set the volume bar in gnome-volume-control to the first step of the bar and do the same on totem, sounds ok.
On the log file I see this:

D: alsa-sink.c: Requested volume: 0: 65% 1: 65% 2: 65% 3: 65% 4: 65%
D: alsa-sink.c: Got hardware volume: 0: 1% 1: 1% 2: 1% 3: 1% 4: 1%
D: alsa-sink.c: Calculated software volume: 0: 8059% 1: 8059% 2: 8059% 3: 8059% 4: 8059% (accurate-enough=no)

Requested 65% - calculated software volume 8059%, that could explain why it sounds bad!
