Are you having an issue with your USB headset in Windows 10 being way too loud? Quite a few users are reporting this problem, and it's making their headset more or less unusable.

Thankfully, there's a fix and it's not too complicated (found via Reddit).

First, download Equalizer APO, a utility that lets you take control over the volume in Windows. Run through the installation process, and then choose the speaker that's giving your problems from the list that pops up at the end by clicking the checkbox next to it. Click OK.

Now, restart your computer (the installation dialog will prompt you to do so). Once your computer restarts, head to the config file for the newly installed program. By default it will be C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config\config.txt, but if you installed it somewhere else, navigate there.

In this file, you will see a section called Preamp at the top, and by default, it will be set to -6. You'll want to change that number to -12 and see if it's better. If not, lower it to -15 and keep trying until the volume is more suitable to your needs.
