Sound Blaster AE-5 volume question

[Sumanji]

Hi,

I'm using a pair of Sennheiser HD600 cans on a Creative Sound Blaster AE-5.

With Windows volume control, anything above ~40% is wayyyy to loud, and I normally have it turned to between 10 and 14%. This is a bit annoying, as I don't have granularity of volume control at the low end.

I have the headphone gain set to low in Sound Blaster Command (even though these cans are rated at 300 ohms). Is there any other way I can adjust the volume range?

Thanks,

Su

Is there any other way I can adjust the volume range?

Do you have an extra level control in the Equalizer settings?

Also, the HD600 are 300ohms right? Maybe try the higher-impedance setting on that control panel.

Increasing the headphone gain to medium or high impedance just makes it much louder!

No other volume controls / limits around that I can see in the panel...
