    Headphones too loud and not recognized as playback device.


    I have Sennheiser HD 580s, and I don't see them listed under playback devices. In playback, I see speakers and Realtek Digital Output. I have speakers enabled.

    When I plug in my headphones to the 3.5mm headphone jack of my case the sound is way way louder than coming from my speakers. Is there a way to lower the volume of the headphones without lowering the volume of the speakers? I'm on windows 10.

    OEM's are getting lazy --- they assume that you have a headset/headphone that comes with its own physical volume control --- so they delete the feature to have a separate headphone volume in the driver.

    I fixed the problem by uninstalling Realtek HD audio driver. Now my headphones show up in playback devices.
