Very low volume when used as a sound card.

Using the headphone output, all presets work fine when playing, but when listening to playback (tried both reaper and Studio One, and also Youtube for good measure) the playback level is reaaaaaally low. Like setting the headphone volume to max is just hearing low volume whispering sounds. Of course, if I played like this I'd blow my head off from the patch sounds and hear nothing else.

Since the meters and wave sounds when recording are ok I guess it's just an output level issue somewhere but I can't find it. I discovered this when I started a new session of Reaper and had the metronome being barely audible.
It's the first time I try to record since I updated to latest firmware (not beta) so I never noticed.

Edit, found it.
I was browsing for a solution and found this old FAQ piece:

It's also valid for the axe III all USB outputs were set to -40db for some reason.
