is there a program preferrably that runs in the background that overrides the sound to make it a lower volume for the audio keys on my powerbook?

i use a turtle beach usb soundcard to replace my dead headphone port on my powerbook, but from 1% being manageable, 2% the optimal level to 10% being deafening, i cant use the sound keys on my powerbook to make the sound a managable level. its either muted, or 8% (1 notch shown on the sound window that shows up on the screen when an audio button is pressed) which is way too loud.

for now i have to use the sound preferences master volume control, and adjust it VERY carefully to the proper volume.

any help much appreciated.

it seems that the volume increases at an exponential rate. as in from 1-10% it increases a alot, and after that it doesn't increase that much.

any ideas?

even a terminal command?

See how this is the OS X forum? See how this isn't a thread about OS X?
