So TL:DR - Check the port, as it may change the volume you're receiving. I plugged into another port for Front Speakers/headphones and the volume was significantly lower and I was able to fix it up to be comfortable.
I did find that the port I was plugged into was only stereo. So we'll see.Īt home I tested this but found the different volume settings for Levels was already low/equal across the board. Mine at work was set to 100!!!! I hope I have it at home and I figured this may have been why, but I didn't think I had a scrollbar at home. Provided my home PC has the same option, going to the properties of the sound device, go to levels, and see if you have a scrollbar to find 'Front'. I may have found a fix as I had similar issue in my workplace with earbuds plugged into the rear-in. I think it's therefore pushing out audio volume at a higher volume based on being set as a speaker.
The issue stands that the headset isn't recognized by Windows as a headset, but set up as a speaker. The software is linked up with Windows so any volume change there, automatically changes Windows volume as well. Gigabyte Mobo featuring Creative hardware and software. HyperX Cloud Core headset plugged into rear-in 3.5mm port on the motherboard. Sadly that isn't possible with a headset that doesn't feature volume controls.
