Right now the ALSA mixer uses arbitrary scales to represent volume, which depend on the driver. Some devices could be linear, some logarithmic. There's no consistency. Fortunately there is work underway to allow dB scales, which might help with this - at least it will make the problem easier to analyze. It's quite possible that Windows subjects all audio to software processing or normalization, which could explain the inconsistency - ALSA just delivers the audio to the hardware.
