<pre>1)I've searched over the internet and have found the same issue as mine (35%
too), but with another usb audio card :
<a href="https://chrisjean.com/fix-for-usb-audio-is-too-loud-and-mutes-at-low-volume-in-ubuntu/">https://chrisjean.com/fix-for-usb-audio-is-too-loud-and-mutes-at-low-volume-in-ubuntu/</a>
Some notes from this guide helped me: I 've changed "volume = merge" to "volume
= ignore" in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
Situation now is much much better: headset behave as they should be (the same
like in digital mode), but the maximum volume is not loud enough imho (120-130%
would be fine). Setting volume over 100% causes overdrive (headset may play
louder without overdrives according to my past expirience).
Maybe making such config default is good idea? (replace merge with ignore)
2) I 'm using windows-dualboot and I have noticed that 100% volume on windows
is always louder that 100% on linux (with PA)
3) In which file should I place "ignore_db=1"?
4) Is it dangerous to recalibrate my headsets? Should I use any program (I
don't know which) to provide range which I consider correct? And which units
should I use ? (dB, volts, some virtual usb units etc.) I guess such patches
should be sent to alsa project or kernel, not PA.</pre>
