Guest asrequested Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Playing music in ET is much louder than TV or movies. It would be great if there were a volume leveling option, so I don't scare the crap out of myself when I play music after watching a movie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If you are bitstreaming the audio with your movies then ET is not controlling that volume at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) If you are bitstreaming the audio with your movies then ET is not controlling that volume at all. That's a good point. But I have a lot that are AAC. It would be nice to level those with music, and have it adjustable Edited October 24, 2016 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If all PCM tracks were leveled, we could use the volume slider to match the volume of the movies. That way everything will be pretty close. I'm sure my buddy Babgvant could easily implement this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well, my request won't work for me, anyway. Everything bitstreams because I have AC3 encoding enabled. I may just have to bite the bullet and spend a lot of time converting my files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 If you are bitstreaming the audio with your movies then ET is not controlling that volume at all. Hold on, I just realized what you mean. With HDMI bitstreaming enabled, regardless of what you play (music or video), the volume slider has no function. Well that sucks! It really can't stay this way. The volume of music is much louder. There has to be some way to compensate. If that means separating the music controls from the movies, then that needs to happen. Nobody listens to music the same way they listen to movies or tv. My request has changed. The music player needs to be separated. If I disable AC3 encoding, the music is played back in stereo, it doesn't even adhere to the speaker configuration that we choose in the settings. The music player needs it's own set of filters. LAV isn't designed for music. I'm amazed that I haven't figured this out, sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just select loudness equalization in your Windows volume options? Keeps everything at the same level for me (movies/shows from different sources, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 9 speakers, and music plays through 2. LAV can't fill the other speakers with sound. This should be a relatively easy fix. I have windows setup that it will output to all speakers, equally. All you'd really need to do, is separate the music playback to use the windows media platform, add a volume normalization setting, and hey presto!
