Hi, most likely this problem was addressed somewhere before and I wasn't to lazy to search but could not find it.
I have a Pi3 connected by HDMI to a Samsung M450 Soundbar which is then connected by HDMI Arc to the TV HDMI Arc. Now I do have 2 problems, one is that in general I think the sound should be better. Of course a Soundbar is worse than a real sound system but currently I almost prefer the TV speakers. The main problem I have though is the volume, I watch one video DD 5.1 and then I watch the next one and it is also DD 5.1 but I might have to boost or lower the volume by a lot.
I am using LibreElec with the latest stable Kodi and I have passthrough enabled. Should I switch to a Windows HTPC or shall I have Kodi do all the audio processing instead of passthrough? And if so, can I somewhere find recommended settings for a setup like I have because I feel a bit lost right now.
Thanks a lot for the help.
