• Got a cheap USB Audio dongle (for free), WAY too loud
    11 replies, posted
My boss gave me this HY-554 USB Audio dongle that he had laying around, because my laptop's audio out jack broke. I'm on Windows 7 x64. The drivers installed just fine and it works almost perfectly, except for one thing.. The volume. It's deafening. On volume level ONE (out of a hundred) it's too loud to be enjoyable. Is there any registry/driver hack I can do to lower the volume output of this shit?
I dunno. Turn down the volume on the program your in.

Crack open the audio dongle and solder a varistor, potentiometer or rheostat onto the sound out? And how did your audio jack break? did you snap off part of a connector in it?
Try without anything connected, to set the volume at maximum, and then back at 1%
just lower the volume in windows
I have a pair of USB headphones that do the same thing. Anyone got a solution?
I have a headset that is very silent, I have both windows and headphone volume set to 100 and still it's not as loud as I'd want it to be, but on my dad's computer it seems to be much louder.
I would modify the dongle by adding volume control... or permamently changing it to about -60%.
luck people, I'm trying to make my headset louder.
It's not possible in Vista and Windows 7, from what I can tell. I have had the same problem. An attenuator would be the best bet. In XP you can just reduce the WAV sound.
