That would be consistent with what you're hearing then. -
Mark's insight into checking the volume adjustment has revealed that the
lower VU tracks are adjusted from -8 to -12 dB on the ones I've
compared, whereas the higher VU tracks do not list a Volume
Adjustment.
I had a stint a few years back where I was home-bound after an
accident. In that time I

Dang, I usually quote who I'm responding to. When I don't I often get
called out.
I wasn't referring to your post specifically, Skunk. :-) I'll revise
the post.

Have you tried ripping an album with another application? Sounds like
replaygain added upon ripping, though I don't remember if you said
iTunes Store songs were quiet as well.

No, that doesn't seem right. Either you have some attenuation - check
client set up in SS menu, or volume isn't all the way up. It would be
good idea to set up the digital volume with the remote controls (again
client set up in SS) and see if volume leve changes.

As quoted by empty99 it does seem that the Quality is not degraded, only
the volume. It is still an issue for me since changing between my
sources requires turning the volume way down before switching so as to
not upset my neighbors or relaxation.
I switched the screen-saver over to Analog VU.

Are you using ReplayGain?
If so, Internet radio will almost always be louder - contemporary music
will be up to 10 dB louder as a result of the loudness wars.
You may want to disable ReplayGain playback of SlimServer sources
(SlimServer Player Settings - Audio - Volume Adjustment/Replay Gain).

I do think there are some "standards" for signal levels, so I think it
would be unusual for different sources to have very different levels.
Then again, I have tended to only and exclusively feed "pure" sources

The originator of this thread mislabeled the "quality" for playback
level. It's only a volume issue, not sound quality per se. In my

any effect if your turn the gain stuff off?

I am using digital TOC with volume "locked", not RCA. With more
experimentation I've found that the better the quality (1411, vs.
128kpbs) the higher the gain, but it doesn't seem to correlate
completely: Streamed audio at 128 (mostlyclassical.com, groovesalad,
etc) still has a much higher VU th
It could be something as simple as inadvertent locking down of the
volume on the RCA output from the SB if that's what you're using. I use
the optical and an external DA function, and have never ever -despite
some other issues- encountered a problem with volume levels.

I've just setup my Squeezebox and Slimserver and have noticed an issue
regarding the quality of my stored music vs that of streams: my music,
regardless of quality, hits the Squeezebox at a lower VU than outside
streams (Pandora, etc.).
While the majority of my collection is 128-256 kbps, I have
19 matches
