why is Directv Audio So LOW frustrating

[secfreak]

does anyone now why Directv audio is so low i have tried everything .... compared to my local cable company and ota its like you have to turn the volume 2x as loud to get the same level......

Have you set the receiver to Dolby Digital? The DD is louder than the stereo out.

I dont notice that much of a difference audiowise between OTA and D*

I only use the speakers on my tv and its very low for me. My cable was louder as is my xbox/playstation. Is there anything to try?

I use my home theater at all times. Everything is ran through it so I don't notice it either but I've noticed in the bedroom it is a little quieter but never really gave it much thought. Normally laying in bed so don't bother me

Mine is the same way. I have the Satellite/Cable input Source Level on my Denon turned up to like +6 while the other inputs are 0 or -3 or so. The input was around 0 when I had cable plugged into the same input, same HDMI cable. Do you find the Pandora "app" on the directv receiver is a "normal" volume, and must be turned down by half or normal Directv receiver operation when using Pandora?

Actually I haven't. But in normally not in the same room when I use pandora. Ill turn it on and then crack it up and walk away. But, guess I got a something to test this morning when I get out bed
