Hi! First post here.. Excuse my English (Iīm Swedish...)
Iīve been using foobar to stream music through my wifi-network to a WD TV Live Gen 3 media player. Worked great, but looks boring.. I bought JRiver since Iīd heard that I could do the same thing with that software but with a much nicer interface.
Well, Iīm happy with JRiver and the uPnP streaming works flawlessly, but why is the output level so low? With foobar the level is similar to that of other sources that are connected to my Denon receiver, but with JRiver the output level is about 10db:s lower (the same soundpressure is achieved with my receivers volume control set to -30dB with foobar and -21dB with JRiver..and thatīs a big difference..).
I think that this is a bit strange, since uPnP is supposed to bypass all processing of the signal inside the computer. It seems to be correct, since the volume control and so on doesīnt work when I use wifi but why is my signal so low then? It should be the same as with foobar, shouldīnt it?
Not a big problem for me, but I have kids and if I play some music with JRiver and adjust the volume to fit (turning it up) it gets unbarebly loud when one of the kids switch to tv sound and the sound pressure level is 10dB:s higher than what I used for music..
Whatīs the problem? Is there some setting somewhere that I can use to change this and get the correct output level?
