CJ Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I am confused. If I play music CD through my PC the volume is very loud. If i play a downloaded file, it is very loud and yet trying to play back a bona fide DVd of the Lost series has me turning the volume up full and still straining to hear the dialogue. I have checked the levels in the control panel - sounds etc and have turned them up fully. I am missing something here? I have the problem no matter what programme I play the DVD on too - Real, VLC etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Are you using the same software to play everything or a specific one for DVDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Are you using the same software to play everything or a specific one for DVDs? I am using Real Player for all of them. I was using Power DVD for the DVD (with the same low volume result) but that was a trial version and I am yet to find a "shareware" version.

Here you go mate, this program will run just about any file you throw at it, including DVD's and it is free. http://www.videolan.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange this. I downloaded an episode of heroes this afternoon and just sat down to watch it and that is playing very loud too. I wonder if it may just be the DVD's?

ivan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 There are separate levels for various audio playback types Col. Have you checked the settings for ALL the levels when you double click the volume control? Go "Advanced" and make sure all the relevant ones are visible. It's also worth checking the audio settings (not just the volume) in Power DVD too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have done all the above but I am still at a loss as to why the Lost season DVD's play with very low volume. Ah well, maybe it is a problem with the disks themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 If it's just those ones then I'd say so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
