You can solve with a HDMI audio extractor with a volume knob, I use it in chain with a HDMI switch and I can easily control every device.
I saw it online when researching. Guess that would be the most direct and cheapest (as in overall price) solution for me. Soon is Black Friday, I'll probably buy one then. But for now I noticed the TV speakers aren't as bad as I thought. So its no longer a critical issue to solve as fast as possible. I think I'm going with a volume knob too if I see a good price (actually those aren't even expensive?), because using the speakers would be a little bit better. Thanks for the tip.
Have you tried to boost your PC volume using easyeffects? It's a great audio utility with a lot of plugins to manage your audio output.
I can actually boost the audio with builtin methods on the PC operating system. But I get a warning doing that for longer period of time will damage the speakers. I don't actually think it would damage the speakers as I will lower it then. I'm just not sure if this is an ideal solution.
Hmm strange, which distro are you using? If you put a volume limiter at 0db there's no risk for the speakers. If you boost form easyeffects the warning should not appear in any case.
It's more of a desktop environment thing, as the warning is baked into the widget. I use KDE Plasma on EndeavourOS. My guess is that the warning is a default warning (not a popup message or anything, just a text in the widget). Because the logic would be that someone already has their speaker set to maximum and need more volume from the operating system. And if one is not careful, this can indeed damage the speakers.
I think in my case its safe, because I set the speaker volume down. The warning message appears always when I enable the toggle to raise over 100%.
Keep it at 100% then boost thru eastyeffects, this audio utility has priority over the normal audio output, you can equalize, limiting and compress also, which is pretty good for medium quality speakers.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have installed and need time to research and try around. Never heard about this software before. Even if I do not end up using it, its a pretty cool software.
