Hi,
My Asus Vivobook 14 OLED laptop has Realtek driver installed for audio.
When I connect any headphone to the 3.5mm audio jack of my ASUS Vivobook OLED laptop, the audio output is too loud.
For example, at 20% volume, it sounds like somewhere near to 80% volume. At 50% volume, the loudness gets unbearable.
Can you please help me how to fix this? I want the headphone to produce normal sound, not abnormally amplified and painfully loud sound.

NOTE: This used to happen on my old HP Omen gaming laptop as well. I thought it was the laptop's fault, but now its happening on this new Asus laptop too, I am quite confident that it's a Realtek driver issue, or something similar. Or, perhaps the driver is pushing a very high impedance through the 3.5mm jack? I am very confused. Please help if you can.
