Root [International] Ringer through earphones deafens

This seems like a really obvious question, but after over 2 hours, I can't find a solution. So here goes.

I have a i9300 running Rootbox JellyBam v3.9.1 and the ringer and notifications are insanely loud over the headset. I like to listen to music, but when my wife rang me a few days ago my ears were so painful and still are. This is with the in ear sumsung s3 headset.

Of course, I can turn the volume down but then I can't hear the phone ring if it's in the next room because the headset and loudspeaker volumes can't be unlinked. Seems a bit of an oversight.

I tried to use Tasker to set the volume low when I plug in the headset, but if I leave accidentally leave the headset plugged I can't hear the phone ringing in the next room. I then tried an ascending ringtone which means I only hear the phone ring from afar when I have no time left to get to it. SMS messages are still too loud.

I have looked through the Jelly bam settings many times but can't see anything to help with this.

Finally I plugged in a sony headset that is meant for iphones, so the button doesn't work, and the volume was much more tolerable - but still not perfect.

It is in part the problem of the headset, but mostly the problem of the OS.

Anyone know how fix this issue? Or a work around?
 
the tasker option is the best maybe there is some setting in tasker where by it can check if music is playing or not and if not then make ringer louder. I am not sure its possible but tasker can do quite a bit so i dunno.
