If you want something to do what you want to

to get it done. Of course its not going

Ah Cotty - I have that on my TV now -
For the falling asleep process I just turn the radio next to my bed down
really low for white noise -- it has
to be people talking -- I have too much fo an emotional response to music.
No, what I'm seeking is a way to keep the volume steady - with no peaks

Automatic volume control? Used to be pretty much standard on AM Radios.
Seems to have disappeared from modern audio. Rather simple circuit to
build in, rather hard to add on.

You're saying it *doesn't* increase the perceived loudness??? Come on!

Ann,
Perhaps a simple solution would be one of those timer gadgets to plug
the TV into at the wall socket, set to turn off (say) an hour after you
settle down to watch something and subsequently doze off?

I agree the commercials are almost always louder than program content
when broadcast. I just wanted to make it clear that it wasn't my
fault:-). Seriously, I've also produced some commercials that weren't
broadcast loud enough. Some were down quite a bit from the program
content. The most p
Every commercial I've ever produced (around one hundred) had to
conform to an audio level set by the networks. What happens when the
network techs load it on a cart is hard to say, but there is a
defined standard for the original. Similarly there are other
standards for colors, contrast lev

No by raising the average they are actually making it louder, if the
sound pressure were measured by any integrating S

Actually, "percent" modulation isn't technically correct with frequency
modulation (which is that TV audio is). You can theoretically increase
the frequency
Now that is technical bullshit raised to the N'th power. If you raise
the average volume level you raise the perceived volume, period! I will
give you the benefit of believing you read that technobable somewhere
and did not have the knowledge to understand it.
