    Hi
    So the L502x has two headphone jacks on the side. I was wondering if there is any setting in windows or if there's any software which lets me independently control the volume for each headphone jack. The reason for this is that I have two different sorts of headphones, both play sound fine but due to it being different brands and quality one plays much higher than the other. The control on the headphones itself isn't making any (big) difference. In example, headphone jack 1 at 80% while the better headphone plugged into headphone jack 2 are set at only 48%?

    Very unlikely. I suspect the dual headphone ports are just cloned from one output, so Windows (or any other os) will only ever show you one volume slider.

    So there is really no way?
