Headphones too loud and not recognized as playback device.

I have Sennheiser HD 580s, and I don't see them listed under playback devices. In playback, I see speakers and Realtek Digital Output. I have speakers enabled.

When I plug in my headphones to the 3.5mm headphone jack of my case the sound is way way louder than coming from my speakers. Is there a way to lower the volume of the headphones without lowering the volume of the speakers? I'm on windows 10.

 

Playback Devices/Headphones and Speakers Auto Switching?

I'm not sure how it works with 3.5mm headphone jacks, but with USB headsets go to Control Panel > Sounds > Playback tab and with the headphones plugged in select them and then set them as the default playback device (click 'Set Default' button).

If they are the default playback device, when they are plugged in sound will come through them, when they are unplugged the sound will come through the normal speakers.
