Windows 10: Default sound volume too loud even with Windows volume at 1 or 2

Hello, I recently bought some new headphones and they're extremely loud.

As said, even with Windows volume on very low settings, they're almost unbearably loud.

I could use the per-program setting to lower the volume of everything, I guess, but that'd make it so new programs / games are extremely loud until I lower them manually. The equalizer in its driver isn't any help, it doesn't lower the volume when set to a lower volume, it seems it does some normalization so I can either get very distorted and loud lows or highs, with everything else being at a bearable volume.

Anyone got any ideas?

LOUD alarm volume!

those steps seem more like WM5 (which i had and could set the alarm volume separately), but in WM6, the path is: Start --> Organizer --> Alarms. here, you can select the Tone, but can't adjust the volume. i incorrectly stated in my prev post that i couldn't
adjsut my ring tone volume. i can and have.



any ideas on how to adjust the alarm volume? it's quite loud by default.

 

Volume too loud on lowest setting.

Hi,

I am having trouble with my Samsung Omnia 7's volume control. The lowest setting (1 out of 30) is uncomfortably loud for watching Youtube videos and listening to music with earphones. The volume difference from 0 (silent) to 1 is huge, let alone 2-30. I
know there is a diagnostic menu called Sound Tuning where gain levels can be altered, is it possible to get some help with this? since nobody seems to know what the values actually change.

Thanks =)

 

Earphone volume too loud or too quiet on Windows 10

Hi I'm having a weird problem on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro. The earphone volume is either too loud or too quiet, and seems to switch between these two upon every restart. When it's too loud, keeping it at 1/100 is equivalent to 20-30/100 when sound was normal, when it's too quiet, keeping it at 100/100 is equivalent to 10-20/100 when sound was normal. Already googled extensively and tried pretty much every suggestion I found with no results:

• Enable/disable loudness equalization in playback device settings
• Enable/disable Windows Sonic for headphones in playback device settings
• Check for errors in sound devices in device manager - no errors
• Update sound drivers - all updated
• Try different earphones - tried like 4 already, definitely not an issue with earphones
• Even tried system restore, still not fixed

Does anyone know what else to try?
