My cs46xx for example has a "DAC" control in alsamixer, which also
affects volume, so my volume is basically regulared by something like:
output = DAC * Master * PCM;
Sliding PCM beyond a certain percentage may give distortions (I don't
mean humming), hence you may want to reduce PCM and instead raise
Master. If you have a volume control on your speakers, try raising that
and lower the volumes in Windows so they are equal.
