New build - Volume too loud at low setting

Finished a new build and new install of Windows 10, but I am finding my speakers are now too loud in the lower volume ranges. For example, my speakers physical dial is always left on maximum, but I am finding volume 2 and 4 on Windows settings sufficent for YouTube, and 6-10 for gaming when my fans are louder. Sometimes the lowest option 2 isn't quiet enough. It wasn't this bad in my previous build (using the same speakers and audio jack). Is there anyway to edit this kind of thing in settings? Perhaps reducing the maximum volume so that I see more of a difference using the volume slider? Thanks

Why not put the dial not at maximum?

I have at the moment but I don't have as wide of a control over the range then. Just wondering if there was some Windows setting for this.

Windows volume settings should always be set to maximum to avoid reduction in bit depth, control your volume from the speakers themselves.

You still have the same amount of control you had before. Just dial back you speakers until they match your previous setup and it will be identical.
