rechigo 364 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I noticed that the Emby theater app for the Xbox One has very low volume, causing me to have to raise my TV's volume to as high as it can go just so I dont have to struggle to hear it. I have checked other video apps and they are all audible at level ~50 on my TV. Some of my Movies audio is low so even at 100, it can still be hard to hear.

FrostByte 5392 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 No, I'm running v265 and it's shaking the walls with my TV set at only 20. A lot of times when this comes up the apps volume is set really low While playing movie, music, etc Click the Xbox button Scroll down and click on Emby Theater (probably the top one) You should be able to adjust the app volume
rechigo 364 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Posted September 22, 2019 My volume is at 100%. This was my first step in troubleshooting.
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 My volume is at 100%. This was my first step in troubleshooting. Is it transcoding? Do you have any logs? Can you give us a screen shot of the media info?
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 99% of the time when I see this you're sending a 5.1 signal to a stereo speaker set and it's not downmixing. You're missing the center channel that has most of the dialog and having to turn it way up to hear the people talking in the front left/right channels. 1
rechigo 364 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 I think what @@Deathsquirrel said is correct. The parts that were quiet was dialog, and the TV was definitely stereo playing a 5.1 channel audio. How can I force Emby to downmix to stereo? 1

Luke 42078 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 We don't currently have an option for that. That will result in a lot of transcoding, but yes it's possible to add it.
rechigo 364 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 Would it be possible for something like this to be implemented? This is from the https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-windows
Luke 42078 Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Isn't that already in xbox system settings?
rechigo 364 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 No, it is not in the UWP app for some reason.
rechigo 364 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 It should be, that xbox isn't at my house so I don't have much time to test it but if I get a chance I'll try it out
Notaria4 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I have the exact same problem. Low volume on xbox one app. System settings on xbox only offer mixing all channels to mono.
victor@vialy.com 9 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Same here. Strange. This does not happen with netflix or prime or any other app .Also, tried with an MP3 stereo audio movie with same results. Very low volume. And there is no "volume setting" available on emby app on xbox menu.
victor@vialy.com 9 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Just found that it gives normal vulume for a .05 second after fast forward.
victor@vialy.com 9 Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I am getting very low volume when playing any movie on the Xbox one app. I have tried setting up the Xbox one mixer and also playing simple mono audio videos with the same result. There is no volume slider anywhere to be seen. The only Time I get a normal volume is a fraction of a second (0.05 secs) after fast forwarding or rewinding. I have tried transcoding to lower quality and still have the same result. This only happens with the emby app on the Xbox. Help! Edited September 24, 2020 by victor@vialy.com

victor@vialy.com 9 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I read that post and all the other ones regarding this problem. Did everything! The thing is that in the new Xbox update there is no volume control for Emby when playing movies. Tried all options available on "Chat volume" wich is the only setting available now on config. But it does not affect anything. I have this problem with every movie, even if it is mp3 MONO audio! Also, one strange thing is that there is a microsecond of good audio level when fast forward or rewinding.

Did everything he says but the latest Xbox One does not show any volume slider under Emby when playing. Tried mono MP3 sound movies with same result. Tried transcoding, and playing around with all sound options on Xbox but they affect only chat volume.
Luke 42078 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 According to your PM it sounds like you resolved it. Thanks for the feedback.
