Thank god for Loudness Equalization.
Since I have found that, I changed it on every device I could. It is just so dumb how badly they mix the audio.
they mix audio for cinemas with 5.1 or 7.1 speaker systems. And then they take that version and smoosh it into stereo :) which then comes out sounding absolutely terrible because the mix was simply not made for stereo
Half the movies Ive seen in the last decade in cinemas still suffered from insanely bad audio balancing.
This problem goes beyond just lazy distribution.
I think the issue is with volume levelling; your statement implies the issue is channel separation. Listening in surround sound won’t mitigate the issue, unless you intentionally boost the center speaker
I mean, cinemas are also built to blow your eardrums out. As someone with hearing loss I avoid them.
Ohhhh neat. Now you can point out to this guy, and myself where we can find this on our televisions.
Someone sharing a solution for one platform doesn’t obligate them to support every platform.
That said, this kind of functionality is sometimes called “noise compression” or “volume normalization”. Guitar compressor pedals do this. So look for those in your TV audio settings or audio system settings, but I wouldn’t hold my breath that it will be there on most TV models.
Also, sometimes it can be due to the way the sound is mixed to however many audio channels the media uses and then how your setup remixes them for how many audio channels you have available. Check your settings to see if the speaker setup matches what you have. Also make sure they are all properly plugged in and actually driving audio through them.
Do they have something like that for Linux?
github.com/wwmm/easyeffects for pipwire
piped.video/watch?v=typM_AQUzi4 for pulseaudio
Thank you!
Thank you!
