DTS files has low volume
« on: November 09, 2013, 09:44:18 pm »

I am getting very low volume output for my DTS files.

is there anyway I can offset/increase the Volume Level (Replay Gain) without physically adjusting my volume knob on my amp for these files?
I have no problem with my Flac, Aiff & DSD files..
the nominal listening vol at amp's vol knob at 9 o'clock.
the DTS files need to adj the knob to around 2 o'clock pos..

Sorry, I don't usually mess/play around with the settings once I get it to work.
So forgive my ignorance if there is a simple method..
just direct me to the link.

JRiver version is 19.0.54, with following DSP Studio options enabled
  > Volume Level - checked
  > Headphones - checked
  > Adaptive Vol - checked


thanks

You have Volume Leveling enabled, but are your files analyzed? Do you use Volume Leveling for all audio, or just videos?
 
Media Center only does an approximation of volume when downmixing to stereo (as it would appear you're doing) so multichannel files can often be played back quieter than necessary.

Yes, I had all the files analysed.
I don't use video... just audio files for listening...

As mentioned, see below, if this is what you meant volume levelling in the DSP studio option..
they are all checked.

yes, I agree that down mixing can cause the volume to be affected..
 but to the extend of turning my amp knob by 180 deg. is not acceptable
I don't want to blow my ear drums when I forgot to turn it back if I switch back to other files..

So is that anyway, I can, kind of, offset for this particular album...
I had only 3 DTS files... and they all behave so the same
