Or as I like to call it "the Christopher Nolan effect"
You can adjust the dynamic range compression which should smooth out the loud and quiet bits. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Vid...e_settings Remember if it works I think you can set it as default for all files. Let us know if it helps. Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv |

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) Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

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 Eden 11.0 / Confluence Windows 7 Ulitimate 64bit HP ProLiant Turion II N40L MicroServer MSI GT520 1GB DDR3 DVI HDMI VGA PCI-E Low Profile Graphics Card Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz i5 Memory Kit Non-ECC CL9 1.5V

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 |
