I think when I tested this in the prior volume PR I somehow crossed wires with one or more of the libraries on my device and was testing on a version that was louder than the real one.
I've realized now using most up to date versions of all libraries that the default volume level chosen for headphones is a little too low I think.
I tested using this demo script: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_FruitJam/blob/main/examples/fruitjam_synthio_speaker.py
With the current setting of -51.8 the tones on volumes 5 and 7 are in-audible to me using ear buds, and a pair of USB powered speakers. Volumes 10-12 I can hear, but are all very quiet.
With the changed value from this PR -30.1 I can hear tones at all volume levels in the demo script. 5 is quiet and 12 getting close to loud, but not uncomfortable even with earbuds.
