Hey guys,
If you're having the same problem I am you're USB headset has 2 volumes available to you, off and unbearably loud. Turning off the surround can help with this in some cases, but you're probably still limited in the useful values of the master volume (for me anything over 2% was VERY loud).
Fixing this is pretty simple thanks to a handy little utility called Equalizer APO.
Download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/
After you download you are going to want to run the installer. At some point it will ask you to select which devices you want to use the equalizer on. Select your headphones now.
Let the install finish then reboot.
After you reboot open the file C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config\config.txt, delete the contents and replace it with
Preamp: -12 dB
You may change the value to match your preference however you like. As soon as you save the file your output will be adjusted. I picked -12 because some games were too quiet at -15 or -20, but music was too loud at -10.
