I think this is handled differently depending on the player, but I am having a widely awful time with audio normalization.
Right now I'm using the jellyfin media player on 'Track Gain', which should squash the dynamic range. The alternative was 'Album Gain', which maintains the dynamic range. I'm not sure how that one would work, but it sounds like it would be worse.
I'm having to blast my audio up to 70 / 100 for certain dialogues, and I nearly had a heart attack when a bullet was shot at one point.
I feel like every device I have, I need to keep the remote in my hands.
I am ideally going to upgrade one or two of my systems where I watch, and get a proper 5.1 setup so I can keep dialogue in the center channel, but some of my devices are going to remain just simple TVs or connected to 2 external speakers.
For these, I really need a better solution.
Are there any better ways to handle this? Does it depend much on the audio codec / track that comes with the files? Any other tips?
