leebo 8 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So I did search, but did not find any thread complaining of my exact issue. Having said that, I find it difficult to believe that no one has had this problem. I'm using both MBT Version 3.0.5327.40705, and MBC 3.0.196.0 7-19.1 for playback on a Win 7 64 machine. When using MBT, the audio level is MUCH lower than when watching the exact same file with MBC. However, FF and RW do NOT work in MBC, So I find myself using MBT more, since I can RW to hear something I might have missed (or just want to hear again if I'm watching Veep). I thought perhaps the audio level had to do with a setting in the Lav Audio filter, but I don't see anything it could be. I would be happy to either fix this audio level issue in MBT, or the FF/RW issue in MBC. Right now I'm having to settle, no matter which one I use. Any suggestions?

Latchmor 584 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi, I could be way off here but I had audio level issues a while ago when my soundbar wasn't receiving bitstreamed audio. Without going into specifics, do you have an amp/receiver/soundbar in your setup? If so is MBT bitstreaming audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebo 8 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yes, and I don't know. I have the bitstream box checked in the LAV audio filter. I tried unchecking it, but I didn't hear any difference. Here's another description of my issue: With Windows volume at 100%, any file played using MBC is as loud as it is using pretty much any other media player (all things being equal). But the same file played using MBT is significantly lower in volume. Not sent from a browser. Keep it to yourself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojodancer 1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have it checked as well but it is still using PCM on my receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillW 30 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I have had the same issue with MBT since I installed it. I've checked every setting recommended. No changes. I've got XBMB3C running with the Titan skin, WMC, and Netflix streaming through a chrome browser. All of those volumes are the same. When I start MBT the volume is significantly lower. It really is no big deal because it's an easy fix, turn up the volume on my AV receiver. I just don't like 'not knowing why' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leebo 8 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Mr. Don wasn't clear. He's taking about Windows sound properties, not a MBT setting. Check the speaker icon in your system tray. I enabled this on my system, but it didn't seem to increase the volume at all. Not sent from a browser. Keep it to yourself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
