DVD Audio Too Quiet?
Someone recently asked about their DVD audio being too quiet. The problem is a mis-match between the dynamic range of high quality audio sources (DVD, HDTV, WMV-HD) and low dynamic range sources (FM radio, analog TV, Windows system sounds). You can sort of compensate for this by setting the NVidia audio decoder to “Dolby Night Mode”.

I get no sound at all in MCE on locally copied DVDs… Any idea why ?
PowerDVD works fine.
But you get sound on regular DVDs played through MCE? What are you using to copy them? Are you ripping as multi-file VOBs?
I have had this same problem with my backedup dvds. The volume, even when turned all the way up is too low. I rip the disc into various VOB files and burn them with nero ultra express 6. Is there a reason for the volume being too low? How would I fix it?
By the way, love the MCE section of your blog.
Actually, this does remind me that I have had problems with some locally copied DVDs and very low audio. Hmmm.. I haven’t figured out what the solution is. What are you using to copy the DVD? It’s odd because I use shrink and some are fine and some aren’t.
I too use shrink and burn with NERO Ultra 6.
I’ve got the same issue – with all DVD’s inserted into the drive & also ripped versions on HDD (using DVD shrink).
Any resolutions to this?
I have this problem as well on burned dvds. The solution was to download and run mplayer.

Go to View/audio/ to get options to normalize and regain, and a boost slider control. Normalize and boost seem are effective in normalizing the volume. Realplayer also has audio boost options.
