I like that my new pc with windows 11 has a much more usable volume range. Every PC I've used with windows 10 is like normal volume with my headphones: 2-4, maybe 6% if it's a quiet video/song, but anything above 8 is actually loud. 30+ is plainly too loud and painful.

Now with my new pc 6-12% is normal, only above 16ish does it start to get a bit louder. And I can let it go up to a good 40-50% on those rare occurrences when I'm really enjoying something that demands more volume.

If you ever feel the desire to get more usable %, you can install APO equalizer (+PEACE gui) and set a negative pre-amp :)

Oo I can still install that on my laptop which doesn't support windows 10, thanks :) seeing as it's called APO equalizer, might also make the sound profile just a tiny iddy bit more bright as my ATH-AD500x's sound great but slightly on the warm side
