Problem

I just watched a movie and had to set the volume level quite high to get audio. I forgot to set the volume to the lower level it was at and started a trance music track and that literally made my ears hurt a lot because I'm wearing closed headphones! Is there a way to limit the output volume level …

Fix for: Linux decibel (max peak volume) limit

Low Risk

For movies with low volume I always prefer to over-amplify from mplayer (check --soft-vol option, or something similar) than to rise the system-wide sound volume. For music and other stuff you usually don't need to change the volume.
