Volume control
« on: May 11, 2019, 11:49:33 pm »
Howdy,
I am running 2 zones, 1 for audio playback and the other for video playback.
I have sound control set to internal for both zones.

I have noticed that music is comfortable to listen to at 60% volume and video at about 80% on my setup.
Is there a way to set a default volume for a zone when switching from one zone to another?
Ideally it would automatically switch to 60% when switching to audio zone and back to 80% when switching back to video.

Thanks!

You can use the Equaliser (Pre Amp slider) or Parametric Equalizer in DSP to adjust the volume as you wish for any Zone. Adjustment is by decibels rather than %, but I'm sure you will be able to find a setting. Probably best to set Internal Volume at 80% to match Video requirement, and adjust Audio volume down, rather than setting Audio and boosting Video.

But Volume Leveling based on Audio and Video analysis should set the Internal Volume correctly for you anyway, unless the difference is just a preference thing. I would understand that. Even with boosted frequencies for dialogue, I often turn the volume up a little on some programs so that I can understand the quiet dialogue.

Do you have Volume Leveling turned on?

I do not have volume leveling on...
I'll give the pre amp via equalizer a go... it should work, just didn't know where to look.
Thanks
