I've gone through this many times myself. The first thing to do is set the volume of your headphones (in the Volume properties on your PC) to somewhere around, say 75% (give or take). Then, run the script below. A window will pop up with any audio devices attached to your computer. Under the 'Setting' column, look for the entry which is at about 75%. This will be your headphones. Then, look under the 'Mixer' column on the far right and the corresponding number there will give you the headphone's id.

SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Once you have the headphone's id, run the following script and replace the '10' with the id of your headphones:
Hopefully this will work for you. Credits to who wrote the first script above are in the contents of the code.
