Edit: I decided to use the internal speakers of the TV, as they are not as bad as I remembered them. So this is no longer an issue for me.


I connected the Series S console to my secondary display, a bigger and old TV from 2010 via HDMI. I use the TVs audio output to connect it with my speakers AUX input, so I can use the same speakers used by my PC. Everything is fine, besides the console is a bit too loud. It always outputs at 100% volume and I have to volume down my speakers with the knob. Sounds reasonable, but then my PC gets too much muted, even on 100% output from PC. Changing the volume on the TV just changes the output for its own internal speakers.

Ideally I would like to control the volume for audio output from XBOX. But it seems not to have any such settings. Any idea what I can do?

Background: I got the console from my brother and played a bit around with it back then. It's been 3 years since I used the console last. As a Linux PC Gamer, there are times when I can't play certain games. In such cases a console could help, because I do not want to install Windows. I have an old account and it was painful to get it all running again, with back and forth of accounts, emails and pins and passwords. Modern gaming.

Keep it at 100% then boost thru eastyeffects, this audio utility has priority over the normal audio output, you can equalize, limiting and compress also, which is pretty good for medium quality speakers.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have installed and need time to research and try around. Never heard about this software before. Even if I do not end up using it, its a pretty cool software.
