The sound levels were absolutely bonkers, I had volume at 20/40 for some parts and 40/40 for others. I watched most of the movie with subtitles on because I didn't want to wakeup the neighbors. I wish Android TV had the ability for loudness equalization. Does VLC or Plex have this feature? I think I checked once before and didn't find it.

- ryandrake 5y agoI've noticed this in a lot of recent movies. Total abuse of dynamic range. The loud parts are ear splitting and then when you get to dialog, it just can't be heard at all. My ears can't hear anything quiet, but don't mind the loud parts. On the other hand, my wife loses her shit when it gets too loud and the dog goes crazy. You can't win. I sit there on the sofa with my finger constantly manipulating the volume control. And before anyone asks, yes, I have a dedicated center channel, and I keep the receiver outputs pretty well calibrated. This seems to be a deliberate choice during the movies' production.
