sound on my MacBook pro suddenly low

The sound on my MacBook Pro is suddenly low when turned all the way up. Of course I have set F12 at its highest and the same in Settings-Sound. Suggestions?

This is actually copy of already asked and answered question- answer there was to reset PRAM, which is not always practical. I had the same problem, and i was able to resolve it without system restart, only killing the process that controls audio.

You can do so running

sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'` 

in terminal.
