Re: FLAC/LPCM lower volume FIX

Sounds like this is not an issue that should really be troubleshooted on this thread, but on a forum or subreddit relating to your TV or AVR? I recommend you try E-AC3 instead of FLAC, as it is 2nd best alternative if you aren't happy with FLAC playback or adjusting volume on the fly when you watch movies.DjObama wrote: Wed Nov 15, 2023 4:43 pmYes, I checked and on PC there is no problem. However on TV there is a significant diffrence. I just checked another movie - Hero (2002), not even a HDR movie, but Flac plays very quiet compared to dts. Can somebody check the flac playback on their tvs/recievers compared to dts-hd tracks? I read about it a bit and seems that dts format boosts the volume while decoding, but it doesn't happen on pc.RESET_9999 wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:29 pmI'll check it out but I'm pretty sure LPCM is fine.DjObama wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:45 pm Hi,
I did some more testing with Flac audio. For some movies after converting trueHD/dts-hd to Flac (i think it applies to lpcm too) the resulting audio track is significantly lower volume.
EDIT: did some tests and the original THD/DTS, flac or lpcm all sound at the same level on my PC.
Anyway, I added -drc_scale 0 in the cli, maybe that will help?
