The volume is fine when listening through headphones but when listening through speakers if you turn the volume up to 1 you can't hear much, then when you turn the volume up to 2 it sounds far too loud.
You're boosting it twice.

If your signal chain has more than 1 phono level input in it, you're feeding it through a boosted input twice, meaning its going to be better off through another socket.
