Asking because you said these are "original 80s CDs", and older CD's often use lower encoding. Whereas YouTube most likely is using something else which allows it to play louder at the same settings. So jellyfin would treat the older audio differently from newer tracks.
I am guessing Jellyfin may not apply the normalization if it thinks it does not need processing, and if the track(s) uses compression differently from newer tracks.
If jellyfin is running in a docker, or such, the container might be missing codecs or audio libraries that may alter/negate volume normalization.
Some clients will treat different sources of audio differently. This makes troubleshooting normalization a bit trickier. Instead of comparing to YouTube, perhaps compare to differently encoded audio files all within jellyfin.
Does jellyfin have transcoding logs? If so ... please share.
Hi, sorry for getting back so late, I missed the reply notification completely.
In terms of ripping I used cyanrip with default settings
I've attached the logs that jellyfin writes out when I play Paradise by Sade, as well as the output of ffprobe for both "Paradise" and "Hammer".
I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what could be the issue here.
Thanks
