it might be a stupid thought but
maybe you short-circuited the volume control somewhere when soldering??
if the volume control is bypassed by some short-circuit, that would explain
why
it is always very loud.

I had this problem with my monitor too, in my case re-soldering worked fine.
my parents had the same problem with a philips tv once, re-soldering didn't
work,
it was cheaper to buy a new one than to get it fixed :(
Anywayz, now that we are talking about monitors, does anyone have a
powerswitch for a Philips CM 8802 monitor? Mine broke, so now I can
only turn on my monitor by placing a heavy object against the switch.
