Some sound cards have two volume controls: one is for the specific
source and the other is for the whole card. Both must be at 100%
for maximum output.

To me, your submission vaguely reminds me of the CD Loudness War <

It sounds to me as if your hardware may be inherently a bit too quiet, but
to an extent it's possible to compensate for that by pre-processing the
signal in a similar way "Loudness War" CD vendors did when producing their
master – but this reduces dynamic range. It may well be that those Windows
drivers are doing just that, to compensate for buggy, craptastic audio
hardware.
But again, I really don't know; I just thought I'd mention this since
nobody else has.

Are you sure the audio hardware is actually capable
of playing louder than it does? How exactly are you playing what?
I'm pretty sure. I mainly see it when playing youtube videos via mpv,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3IidGmVLo4 was giving me trouble for
example. I know for sure that the hardware is capable of being much
louder since I'm able to play it at a good volume in Windows and Linux
(both Pulseaudio and ALSA, after I add a boost device to ALSA.)
