So you are using the jack outputs from the dac direct into the speakers and controling the volume via alsamixer ? As Jivelite is a visualisation software for controlling the squeezebox playback, my suggestion was to use a different OS running Squeezelite to see if you experience the same problem. I have had a quick look at the speaker spec (well reviewed by Sound-on-Sound) and there seems to be no method to adjust the input impedance. (I have some Mackie Actives and I can adjust the impedance value which allows greater or lesser use of the volume control). Attenuators on the speaker input might help, but only if you happen to have a pair, as they are a little expensive. It's a question of working through the audio outputs that are offered and if non work then trying attenuation. It might even be that the dac hat might be faulty ? Have you tried using the rapberry pi headphone output, first into headphone) and then into the speakers via a line level 3.5mm /rca phone cable, as another part of the elimination process (and available for little money) ?
