Volume level too high

[hisaishi]

Volume level is too high in my Windows 10 (Level 2 sounds loud). Is it possible to reduce the dB of the system in some way?

Use the system Volume Mixer (accessed via the speaker icon in the Tray). Or the volume knob on your speakers.

Check in 'Control Panel' for your system audio setup. Not 'Sounds' but a separate audio chip settings. You may be able to scale down the levels there.
If it's a audio or video playback problem, then check your program settings there. Most video players have internal audio settings.

The netbook I am using at the moment doesn't have much in the way of audio adjustments.
The ones in the 'Volume mixer' are the same as my regular volume control. But your system may have more adjustments there.

I tried with the volume mixer and all the audio options on the Control Panel but the problem is not solved. My speakers do not have volume control The problem is the volume of the system that is very high at low levels.

Do your speakers have more than on input? Maybe you have the computer plugged into a microphone input rather than a line level input. Or maybe a high/low switch? That would cause the sound to be too loud.

Speakers have one input. Is there any option in Windows to decrease the default decibels (= dB) of the system?

Sound cards normally output analog audio at standard line levels.

Headphone levels may be higher. Make sure the sound card is set to line level output, not headphone levels. Or make sure you are using a line level output, not a headphone or speaker output.

As a last resort you can use attenuators:

How do I do that?
