Windows audio users lack precise monitoring and device control
Windows headphone, speaker, and gaming-audio users want better ways to monitor levels, adjust volume, hear their own microphone, and get Bluetooth audio behaving as expected. The requests suggest audio controls and setup are fragmented or unsatisfactory for particular devices and use cases. Software can report digital signal levels, but it cannot reliably promise actual listening levels in acoustic decibels without device-specific calibration; it also cannot fix awkward adapter hardware.
For windows headphone, speaker, and gaming-audio users. Mentioned from Jan 2024 to Dec 2024 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

I wanted to know if there is a software that can monitor the sound output in decibels on Windows. I often use headphones on my PC and I am a bit concerned about my ears
Please recommend audio monitoring apps that will run on Windows 11 while gaming that allow us to change the monitoring volume
