Your ears a few decades from now (or even sooner) will thank you, and if you're having trouble hearing bass and treble in degrees where you actually do have to boost it with whatever 'enhancements' your sound card software offers, it's probably too late. People need to really turn shit down, seriously. The headset is made by Turtle Beach (gaming headsets), and Im just using the standard speaker properties menu on Windows 7. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I'll happen upon a YouTube video or something else these days where if I don't have MY volume set to like 5% or whatever before I press Play I'll end up regretting it. Note: this is only for heaphones I am getting comments about Microphones and Speakers, so i should include that this only works for headphonesSongs used: U. To be perfectly honest if you're detecting the sound level aka the volume is the same from 50% to 100% that more than likely means the original audio file is super-boosted 'loudness war' candidate stuff and probably (not not always) sounds like shit to begin with so it's overloading the audio circuit before you even get to the 50% level.
Windows has no 'bass limiter' in it by default, it would have to be something related to the sound card/chip control software - as noted in the pic above the only 'enhancements' that the Windows audio subsystem offers are those listed and those are not enabled by default (and it's a Bass Boost anyway and not a limiter).
