Hi all,
It's something that I have always lived with without looking into it much. No googling that I have done has got me closer to answering this.
Switching from terrestrial TV over to my HDMI input for my Kodi box and playing a downloaded video file gives be a vastly different audio volume level. It's a simple issue that I find difficult to explain (sorry). Let me just describe it like this. I'm watching the news with the volume set to 15/100, switch to my Kodi input and play a film, the volume at 15/100 is far too low. I am having to pump up the volume to near 85/100 to be at the same practical volume output as I was when watching the news.
The only setting I have found was the Kodi Volume Amplification setting that works to a certain extent but can make the audio quality seem boomy. Is there something that I can do to bring the Kodi and TV volume output to match? Is this just the way it is? Perhaps the audio files are just encoded like this (it seems to be with everyone I have ever played 1000s)?
Setup is an RPi2 with a Sony W650 TV. (it has seemed the case when using different PIs and TVs)
Any suggestions or explanations are greatly received. Thanks,
