    headphones with mic incredibly loud and cannot turn the volume down


    As the title says, when in a meeting and headphones with microphone is selected the volume becomes really loud and cannot turn it back (2%still too loud) any way to fix this?

    ps this happens when headphones with microphone are selected as input/ourput so its not a zoom/teams problem

    ps2 this is happening on windows 10

    Headphone mic not working with laptop 3.5mm port

    I have sennheiser hd4.40 wireless headphone. I also got a cable with headphone having 2.5mm pin(attached to headphone) to 3.5mm pin(attached to mobile phone).

    Problem is that when i connect 3.5mm pin to my mobile phone headphone jack, in call i am able to use mic and headphone both at same time but:

    1. When i connect the 3.5mm pin to 3.5mm jack for mic on my laptop, i am not able to use the mic.(my laptop has separate 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm headphone jack)
    2. When i connect to 3.5mm jack for headphone, only headphone is working with laptop not mic.

    Please do not suggest why I am not using Bluetooth because it is a separate problem.

    I am missing something or maybe this may be limitation or something else. Help me on this. :-(

    Volume Unreasonably Loud

    My volume is way too loud.

    I have to have my volume between 0 and 10, out of the possible 100. anything else is way to loud. I'm using regular headphones with no gain, so it's not getting amplified there. I have to set all my different audio sources artificially low in volume mixer so that I can use the windows volume control at anything more than 10. Is there some sort of global volume scale I can use?

    headphones with mic incredibly loud and cannot turn the volume down

    Headphone volume is way too loud in windows 10 even with an external usb sound card

    I have a pair of Bose QC2 headphones and the volume is WAY too loud in windows on all jacks:

    I have tried the following jacks:

    • speaker out on back of motherboard
    • headphone out
    • external USB sound card (Sabrent Aluminum USB External Stereo Sound Adapter)

    In each case, even a windows volume setting of 1/100 is too loud. Using the same headphones on my macbook pro the lowest volume is MUCH lower.

    Is there any way to reduce the volume levels? I'm debating purchasing a more expensive external sound card that has a volume knob that is independent of the windows system volume.
