Headphone volume to loud at minumum - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey guys, I've been having some problems with volume control on most of the roms out there. Most of the roms I've tried so far seem to have a loud volume at the lowest level. An exception would be Shotock2, which has perfect volume control in my opinion. But i'd like to use other roms based on AOSP or other Samsung bases. Is there a way to edit the volume control in someway? I made this post after I've tried everything i can think of. That includes using fluxxi kernel and its volume control options, using audioboost apps, and using softer equalizer settings. But nothing has worked for me. I was hoping to see if it was possible to edit some file somewhere on the system that allows you to bring down the volume. Any help would be great.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for but, have too tried headphones with a volume control on them?

I've tried my Skullcandy in-ear earphones which i use the most, but i've also tried those Apple earphones and a few others. They all make my ears hurt on lowest volume.

If the ROM you're using has DSPManager, try lowering the bars on the equalizer under 'headset' (after enabling it of course). I know it works for music but I'm not sure about apps and other things
Edit: I missed the part where you said you've already tried this, my bad still worth another shot though, I've had this problem before

You've dealt with this before? Do you remember the actions you took? It would help me out a lot.
I just tried out Serendipity 9.4 and it had the same problem, lowest volume too loud for my ears. I'll try out stock UCLE5 and see if the problem is there too, i dont think it was the last time i ran that rom.

I'm trying to remember as this was a quite a long time ago. On the lowest setting, the audio was so loud that I was able to hear it without putting the headphones on (well, I had earbuds) I had this issue with CM7 and CM9. I went into DSPManager and enabled Bass Booster (it seems to lower the volume a bit) and enabled the equalizer. I set the equalizer to about this (Remaking it to my best estimate to what I had the equalizer set to before)

}
Afterwards I ran a few apps then played a few songs. It was much quieter than before. What's strange though, is that when I flashed AOKP several months ago, the volume was much quieter and I was able to turn the equalizer up a bit. Sorry if I don't seem like much help, just sharing what I did to fix this but it might not work for everyone. Phones are weird

I've tried this too but i felt like it kinda ruined the point of an equalizer. Thanks for the suggestion though. Honestly I'd stick with Shotock2 if the battery life wasn't so bad on my phone. I love that rom.

I just downloaded this app is called Fine Volume and it works great for lowering the volume down to 1 percent even.
