I'm using a USB sound card via Pulseaudio to get audio out of my laptop and would like to add a filter of some kind to decrease the output volume level. Currently if I set the volume to anymore than 5 or 10% the actual audio output is deafening and I'd like to have more control over how loud it actually is via my keyboard. Currently I can basically have it at 0%, 5% or 10%.
I don't really know what terminology to Google for here, so even just a pointer in the right direction would be welcome.

This question has an open bounty worth +50
reputation from hugomg ending in 7 days.
This question has not received enough attention.
Is it possible to change the "base volume" to another number? What command could be used for this? How can this setting be made permanent?

You can see inpacmd list-sinksthat there is abase volumeattribute for each sink, which is presumably set as reported by ALSA. This value determines what Pulseaudio thinks of as "100%" (or 0 dB, in their phrasing). If you can lower it, that should do what you want, but I don't know how the "reported by ALSA" works, exactly.

You can see inpacmd list-sinksthat there is abase volumeattribute for each sink, which is presumably set as reported by ALSA. This value determines what Pulseaudio thinks of as "100%" (or 0 dB, in their phrasing). If you can lower it, that should do what you want, but I don't know how the "reported by ALSA" works, exactly.
