Quiet audio?

[joosegoose]

Is audio particularly quiet for anyone else? I can max both my system and in-game volume and its still much quieter than anything else would be with the volume maxed. I have to max my volume to get a sound I would like, when I rarely ever go to 50% for other applications. I have to make sure to turn volume down before exiting the game otherwise my system reminds me how absurdly loud I have my speakers set to.

My drivers are up to date, and I've checked all the relevant in-game options/sliders. Just wondering if this is a known issue.

Edit: Also, when I first fire up the game my audio defaults to this:


I then make sure to max it out, but it's still much quieter than anything on my system. I've also never had a program default to a low volume like this before...anyone able to shed some light on this?
