I'm coming from a mediaportal installation that I've been using for a long time in combination with ffdshow.
All audio was routed through ffdshow where I could set it up in such a way that I could independently control the volume levels of audio channels. This way I could put the center speaker on 100% volume and front-left and front-right on 55%, the rear speakers on 65% and the subwoofer on 50%.
I do this because tons of movies have their speech on center speaker and compared to the other channels it's a lot lower in volume. Once there is music or some sounds of explosions or what not, the volume of those is way too loud for my taste compared to the center speaker.
Is there a way you can achieve the same with XBMC?
oh and yes, I have set my a/v receiver to lower the volumes on front and rear speakers (-10) and up the volume on the center speaker (+10), all to their possible max, but it's still way too loud in comparison to the center speaker.
