Stupid question but: have you turned down the volume on the TV? Last I checked mine could be turned down to zero output. Or are you saying that one "up volume" button push from totally off and you've got huge sound output from the PC speakers?
The TV's audio out should be putting out a signal level suitable for input to an external amp. I've got mine running into my music amp. The PC speakers SHOULD accept this input too. I suppose it's possible that the speaker amp may be set up with monster gain to compensate for a weak signal from some sort of non-standard PC sound card output.
You can always put a resistor in series with the signal lead to attenuate the signal.

Does your TV have a switch that says Variable/Fixed? My Sony has such a switch and in Variable mode you can turn the sound up or down with the volume control.
