You can generally set the software volume controls in foobar etc. to the maximum (unless you find it convenient to lower the volume there). You have some freedom regarding the volume controls, just avoid these problems:
- clipping
- large loss of dynamic range
- quantization to 16 bits
Setting everything to 100% on the PC is probably OK if you are not sure.

Check the Windows audio settings and the foobar configuration. The default settings may already be good.
You can also use WASAPI output from foobar, this will bypass any Windows audio processing.
