Hello everybody,
I feel really stupid for asking this but I just can't seem to figure this out:
When I use my PC for everyday stuff like watching YouTube videos and listening to music I have the windows system volume level set to 25 and use the output knob of my external steinberg audio interface to change the volume. With a system volume of 25, setting the output knob of my audio interface about 3/4 to the max is as loud as I ever would turn the volume up.
When I use FL Studio with a system volume of 25 the volume is way louder than the volume of a video on youtube for example. Having the output knob of my audio interface set to just above the minimum already results in about average loudness while turning the knob even a little more towards the max results in a super loud volume that hurts my ears.
Currently I set my system volume to 1 when I use FL Studio but that doesn't feel right. Even then I can only reasonably turn the output knob of my audio interface about 1/3 up before it gets too loud.
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Audio Interface: Steinberg UR22
- DAW: FL Studio 12 (64 bit)
- Speakers: Yamaha HS8 (speaker level knob set to +4dB [middle])
TL;DR: FL Studio 12 blasts my ears off while every other application is way less loud. I have to set my system volume setting to 1 to even kind of use FL Studio at a reasonable volume level.
I'd really appreciate any help! I feel like I'm missing something really obvious.
