Windows 10: Sound is louder after update?

I haven't updated in a long time, like two years. My sound is at least thrice as loud now, can't I fine-tune this? Anything above 10 out of 100 was already too loud for my liking before this change.

Everything LOUDER with 12070

Having received the 12070 update last night (Lumia 800 O2 UK) it seems everything is much louder, for example,

• I like to listen to podcasts in the evening on volume 1. This seems to have about doubled in loudness. I liked it the way it was!
• Plugging the phone into a USB cable, the sound sounds almost distorted it is so much louder. This is going to be an embarassment in the office at work.

This is not acceptable - does anyone know a way of getting the volume back down to previous levels, short of uninstalling the update?

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
