Weird. Audio in video file about 75% quieter than an Audio File...

Anybody got any idea why auidio in a video would be (roughly) 75% quieter than an Audio file....

I've installed the CCCP, soundcard drivers, VLC, iTunes. other than thats its a pretty fresh Win 7 install.

If I play an audio file in iTunes I can put my speakers on a 'normal' volume which would be pretty loud for vista, PS3, Sky etc... but play a video file in Windows 7 and the volume level needs to be increased about 4 times before you can hear it

any idea why this might be?
I've been through the various creative apps to set it to the 5.1 settings and ensured that all audio levels within the Windows settings are @ 100%
