[bandit8623 213]

this is the windows app. any way to boost audio on the app?  its half the volume

 

here is through browser.

There are a number of places where volume can be controlled:

• Inside MPV player
• Windows per-App sound mixer
• Windows global volume
• Sometimes, audio devices have their own additional software control for volume
• Hardware volume (in case of speakers)

and additional knobs that are possibly affecting volume:

• Speaker layout mismatch (try set explicitly
• Windows speaker layout setup (right-click device in Windows settings and select "Set up speakers"
• Dynamic range compression enabled

 

So, please go through all of these  and check.

Two things for reducing confusion and number of places involved:

• Enable "Exclusive audio mode"
• Enable "Ignore volume control commands

What do you have set on the server side for "Audio boost when downmixing" in the Transcoding section? I think that AC3 5.1 -> MP3 is a 2.0 downmix.

i have it boost so it matches other content.  if i dont boost its super quiet.  think +2

not sure why default downmix by default is way quiet?

I see your edit now. I think I misread which one was the problem, but I guess that explains why the browser is much louder.
