Depending on your sound output setup coming out of your P.C.s this might not work for everyone. If you are sending the PC sound card to an external sound source like a PC speaker system that has it's own external speaker amp system, and/or to a DAC for headphone use, and/or a Home Theater Amp system. First go to the WIndows Speaker Icon in the system notification tray, click it to open so you can turn the overall&nbsp;volume down, and make sure to pull the slider&nbsp;volume down to at least 50%. I have noticed when I pushed the overall sound card Volume slider up beyond 50% the ads playback was way too loud in sound volume, but by using the slider to turn the overall PC sound card sound volume to 50% and below everything had a much more normal&nbsp;volume range, and I did not get blasted out with overall loud ads anymore. Then users can adjust external amp sound sources and raise the&nbsp;volume desired, users might have to play around with both volume settings, the overall PC sound card output volume and the&nbsp;volume on the external amp&nbsp;sound source to get the right volume balance so the ads when played do not blast you.</P> Sun, 19 Jul 2015 01:50:03 GMT user-removed 2015-07-19T01:50:03Z
