YES,

I am using a KX3.   I use the "bar" on the right and set 20db of attenuation in the audio drive "chain". Mike gain is now set at aprox 40, rather than 3-4 (one step makes a BIG step)...
I can set "ALC" correctly.

I call this the "gain chain" problem.  It depends a bit on how you are set up 
but try the following.  Go into the menu on the K3S and turn down the LIN OUT value.  I 
have mine set at 2 I believe.  Once you do this you should be able to more finely control 
the drive level.

This is likely to fix your problem at once.

I am running WSJT-X in FT8 mode on my K3S using the onboard sound card
and USB cable and VOX for keying. My computer is a Mac running
Catalina. The K3S manual recommends setting the drive at 4 or 5 bars to
avoid distortion by the ALC.. When I use the audio output slider set
the drive level, the display jumps from no bars to 6 bars, and vice
versa, and nothing on between.  I have also tried using the MIC level
and the POWER slider in FT8 with the same results.  The software id
decoding fine. Can anyon suggest what the problem might be?
