audio levels from channel to channel

[telstar_1]

Wasn't there a law passed a long time back mandating service providers level the sound from one ch. to the next? Or was that just for within any single given ch., and not letting commercials be boosted? Regardless it's a pain on DiSH with some ch's way louder than others, and having to jockey the sound up & down. Is there some fix? Can some TVs compensate for this?

Some channels are Dolby Digital and some are not. Those that are not are louder than those that are.

So I guess then that between ch. 215 (wx) and 192 (ID) or one of my sat locals, 215 is one way and the other 2 are the other?

depend on how you tv and box is setup? as both have "audio" leveling

for me if I have audio leveling on hopper enabled DD is lower then Stereo if i turn off on h3 turn on tv it the reverse. Almost ALL streaming channels much lower volume level then statalite channels.

Either way one my pet peaves is that even channel seem to have it own "audio level" and so to commericals and none of the actual audio leveling functions actual fix this and never have. would be nice if every channel dish/dtv/fios etc all made volume level defualt to same dB so atlest all channel where consistent volume probably wont help commercials though.

To my knowledge no TV has ever had audio leveling function that actual fixed that all it really does it either lower or raise the volume

maybe he should post his gear so we could look into it .. t.v. soundbars AVR whatever he's running.. our home theater has volume leveling but so does our soundbar in the bedroom

I have found that muting and unmuting the sound can boost the volume.

So can the volume button. The reverse is true as well.
