That sounds reasonable for now. Professional sound card users will maybe just have to remember to mute the master control before connecting their speakers.

I don't understand why your sound card is OK at -40dB but too loud at -41dB. It does not make any sense. There must be a bug there, because -41dB should be quieter than -40dB.

Sorry, this is not what I wanted to say. All I wanted to say is that -40dB and 41db are both fine. But higher values become rapidly very, very loud.
