Title: Quieter Audio
Post by: benn600 on February 22, 2009, 07:05:45 pm
Why is audio from digital channels always quieter?  I always have to turn the volume much higher to get satisfactory volumes, sometimes 50 - 100% higher, often maxing the available volume travel.

Has anyone from J River explained the basic reasons for changing from a channel based television system to a show based system?  I'm not convinced that it is the perfect solution in theater view--but I'm just starting to use it.  So it might make sense later.

I did notice my recordings but didn't look further over.  I've noticed the huge changes weeks ago and am seeing some more finalizations--that some features were definitely not finished but are becoming finished.  That is good because I'm just about ready to push forward and use MC for television where possible.  It's a long process, though, but it's also a very long story--a combination of difficulty receiving over the air (which we may have just solved) but then several other issues, too.  We'll see what happens.

You could always use a different audio filter for your TV, and set the gains in it to boost the volume level.

 I use AC3Filter and in this you can set the gains (and lots of other stuff like EQ) so that your TV will be a similar level to other playback.
