Thread: Volume Radio

  1. #1

    Volume Radio

    Im really happy with my SB Radio. I got also a Boom but Radio is much much better: more user friendly, pretty ... really a good purchase.
    I connect almost always with mySB.com ...
    The only thing I dont like is that 3 of my favorite radios has a low volume ... the other 3 got a normal volume. Every time I switch channel I have to touch the volume ....
    Is there a way to solve this ?

    Not really, stations stream with many different parameters including volume, encoding type, bitrate, bass boosters, audio gain, etc...

    I noticed there is a lot of variation between different stations in volume as well, which seems weird since it is all digital. I know there are some settings in the menu for gain control like "auto gain" and "smart gain" maybe they will do something for you. They don't seem to do much on my radio though.

    It's not really weird at all, since digital can be just as much all over the place as analog when it comes to volume. Consider CDs, which are digital, but vary tremendously in volume (google "loudness wars"). The SBS replaygain settings depend on the presence of replaygain tags. This works fine with properly tagged music from your own collection, but very few internet radio stations provide replaygain info, which is why you're not noticing any effect on your radio.
