I have the same problem and it effects ripped DVDs too (they are also
louder than tv)
I thought at first it was that the TV is too quite, but I have a DVD
player connected to the same amp and use S/PDIF for it also. The TV and
DVD volume is about the same.
You can transcode the MP3s and reduce their volume, but every time I try
this with a video, it screws up the video. So I've just learned to live
with it.
As you've discovered, the mixer and volume controls don't work with S/PDIF.
