Hi,
is it just my setup or does Pro7 actually have a far lower volume than all other channels? I'm using Werner's 261d firmware with AC3overDVB from a FF 1.3 card over an optical SPDIF link into a home cinema system.
ProSieben, Sat.1, ZDF and mybe others which also broadcast and AC3 audio have lower volume on AC3, even on domestic receivers. As it is AC3 over SPDIF, I don't think its volume can be adjusted elswhere than in your decoder amp. Maybe all other channels broadcasting MP2 should be adjusted lower.
While we're at that, has anyone been working on a limiter to keep the advertising blocks' volumes down? As most of you will know, the ad blocks have an average level 3 dB above the average level in the rest of the material. This is very annoying particularly after a low volume scene in a film. ... :-( Noad's algos could be helpful here.
On AC3 I think it's not possible, see above...
Just my 2 cents, Lucian
