Sound Blaster AE-5 volume question

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

Click to expand...

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...
