enable "night" mode on the receiver (works for some ac3 & dts tracks IIRC when passthrough is used)
&/ use 'Volume Amplification" in XBMC (found in our OSD /Audio submenu) this only works when audio is decoded (so opposite to passthough)

i dont seem to have Volume Amplification (Dynamic Range Compression) option in the OSD,
im playing a movie and then going to the OSD audio settings,
i have volume and then audio offset, Volume Amplification is missing, ive tried 5 different films all were the same.
eta: all audio streams seem to be the same as well, AC3 5.1

huh?
If you've got Eden, you should have access to Dynamic Range Compression in the OSD.
You can download the old skin for eden in the repository (something like confluence vertical).
What operating system are you using?
Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv

I have the default confluence skin on xbmc v11.0 and i dont see the dynamic range option anywhere...only audio amplification which i dont think is the same thing. The crazy audio levels in movies are driving me crazy. How can i find that option and/or is there a plugin that will normalize the audio levels automatically?
