Try using powered speakers with no volume control on them (some JBL speakers that came with a Compaq monitor, long ago), they depend on your mixer to completely control levels. They go damn loud when driven with full audio levels. A proper use of a volume control would be that a high level (on your control position) is relative to very loud audio. That's not a good default. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
