Yes there is, put "load-module module-match" in default.pa, and create file ~/.pulse/match.table with one line: ".* 32000". The ".*" part is a regular expression matching all streams, and 32000 is the volume for matching streams (the value range is 0-65535). Better solution would of course be solving the actual cause for this problem. I'd guess the sound card does digital amplification. alsamixer shows some amplification value for the sliders, I don't know how reliable it is, though. But anyway, run "alsamixer -c0" (replace 0 with something else if the sound card doesn't have index 0) and if some slider shows positive gain, lower it. The gain is shown in the "Item:" line in upper left corner. -- Tanu Kaskinen
