I moved computers. I am sure I did something, somewhere, clicked some esoteric box or something but here's the issue I have:
The volume of playback in MC 31 depends on which song I play first from a stop state.
I have a Zone configured to play a large set of my music (7211 tracks at the moment)
Sample Rate is set to up sample to 3x each sample rate (44.1=176, 48=192, etc) because my DAC seems to prefer this to 2x though I could be convinced not to upsample. No encoding.
Volume Leveling is set to On (think this might be the issue?)
Adaptive Volume is On (Peak Level Normalize)
Equalizer set to my preferred curve on my DAC
Playback is set to WASAPI exclusive mode.
Memory Playback, decoded file into memory
Bitstreaming: None
Use SoX for Resampling
Resample uncommon sample rates
The songs are obviously split across all kinds of albums, all walks of music, and close to at least 1 track from every artist in my library (ripped from CD, or from an online music store in FLAC or WAV, and all songs are analyzed in MC).
When I am done working for the day, I stop my music, power off my machine, and go about my evening.
Next morning, I get to work, power up my personal machine I use to play music, and depending on the starting track, it seems to determine the overall volume for the day.
Or rather, overall volume until I stop the music and then restart for whatever reason (conf call, lunch, etc).
I checked my old PC and it seems to do the same thing, so I guess I checked the box for something I shouldn't have and copied the settings over?
Any recommendations on a path to start troubleshooting is appreciated, even if it is something really stupid I did.
Thanks in advance!
