On Demand Movie Audio Auto-Adjusts

Hi - As anyone else had an issue where the audio of an on demand movie appears to auto adjust to compensate for a loud scene in a movie?  Its terrible and I can't figure out why this is happening.  It doesn't happen on regular channels or premium movie channels, so I don't think its an issue with a setting on my box or HT receiver.

There is an audio adjustment on at least some of the boxes for this.  Personally I turn the option dynamic range to none.
Try looking for menu/settings/audio & video/audio/dynamic range.

  • Auto adjust the audio levels

    I have my iMac hooked up to my TV and when I watch movies from it the audio levels very quite a bit. Some parts are really loud and some are very quiet. Is there a program that can auto adjust the audio levels out of the mac?
    thanks

  • Auto-Adjust disabled; mic volume still adjusts.

    I have the volume auto-adjust turned off on Skype. Yet the mic volume still automatically adjusts in skype. I often run two instances of Skype. On both accounts, I have the Volume Auto-Adjust option disabled. I have even gone into my computer's hardware settings, and disabled the setting that allows applications to take exclusive control of the microphones I use. Whether the mic is built-in, or USB, Skype still automatically adjusts its volume. I've tried three different microphones and it automatically adjusts all of them. I use Windows 7, 64. Skype is up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have a Razer Megalodon.  I have used it for a couple years just fine with Ventrilo, Mumble, Raid Call, Teamspeak 1 & 2, others, AND Skype.  No problems, until my most recent re-install of Skype.  I had Skype uninstalled for several months because i wasn't playing the game(s) that my online friends used Skype as a Voice Client.  I recently started playing again, and reinstalled Skype (latest Installer).  Now it seems my Microphone Level in the System Sound Options panel (Open Sound Devices> Recording> Microphone Properties> Level) gets auto-managed regardless of the settings in Skype.  This is brand new behavior on my system and only happened after installing Skype.  It seems to lower the Mic Level in my system even when Skype is closed (R-Click skype in Notification Area> Quit... Then I check Task Manager for Skype in Processes and in Services> End Task/Process Tree if still running).  Every time i try to check the way it works in my other voice clients and in the "Microphone Setup Wizard" in windows, the Auto-Leveling behavior is there, even when disabled/turned off in ALL other Microphone using programs including Windows.  When i Adjust Skype's Microphone Level from Max to 75%, i can watch the System's Microphone Level drop to 0.  When i move the Skype Microphone Level to 0, then move the System Microphone Level to 2 (yes two) it jumps Skype's Microphone Level to Max. Yes, i have disabled any and all "Application Control / Exclusive Mode" options in Windows and all my Voice Clients including Skype.  With a little digging, anyone reding this can find that there are settings on the Headset as well... again, i have been using this headset for years without issue, i know how to set it up.  As you can imagine, it makes my voice either too soft/muffled to hear, or overpowering with reverb/echo/feedback.  As mentioned before, this is NEW behavior since the latest re-install of Skype, and it is affecting my entire system and other Voice Clients now, wheather Skype is running or not.  I hope this behavior is not intended by design.  I understand the need for Auto-Leveling for those who can't be arsed to learn how their PC works beyond the "Push the Power Button Crowd," however to force those who know how to use a PC (built mine from scratch) and manage their settings properly to use this Auto-Leveling by making it "Always On" is no less than insulting.  Please, Please!, tell me this is an accidental side effect and not another intentional "Dumbing Down" tactic by MS.

  • Skype Auto adjusts the mic even with the option un...

    Everytime I start a game and I'm on Skype with my girlfriend, my mic blows her ears out. 
    This isn't even just starting up a game for the first time, if I'm playing a game like Heroes of the Storm, every time we start a new game, the mic will auto adjust itself to the loudest possible setting.
    I have unchecked the mic's auto adjust propery and it still does it.
    I have gone into windows and unchecked the box to allow applications to take control of my mic.
    I have gone into regedit and copy-pasted a solution that was supposed to stop this from happening as well.
    This bug is incredibly annoying and I will stop using Skype if it continues. I don't want a program that takes over my mic because it knows better than me what volume it needs to be at.
    Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi,
    I take it you mean Microphone Enabled is Ticked in the video Menu ?
    And that the Mic in System Preferences > Sound > Input matches the one in iChat Preferences (Video Section) and that the bar moves in both places ?
    In the iChat Preferences > Video section change the Bandwidth Limit to read 500kbps as a starting point.
    iChat 5 "sees" your Internet Speed differently from iChat 4 and earlier and there may be greater speed differences between your Buddies now.
    Open the Connection Doctor during a Chat and compare the Bit Rates an Frame rates.
    Try both ends on 500 kbps.
    Then when the Bit rates look settled adjust one end at a time upwards, allowing the Connection Doctor to settle again. (The slowness of change is the iChat Buffering taking effect).

  • Recorded sounds are auto adjusting

    I have an Envy h9t with windows 8, i5-3570K, beats audio and I bought the system in January 2013.
    Recorded sounds sounds horrible due to some sort of auto adjusting hat is going on.  Recording from my sound card the volume goes up and down randomly it seems.  When I try to record from my microphone the volume drops to about 20% if a note is sustained for more than about 2 seconds.  I have skype turned off and the comunications tab of the sounds menu set to 'do nothing'.  Does this sound like some sort of auto adjusting problem to any experts?  Where can I turn this off?  
    This question was solved.

    Ok it is slightly outdated. No big deal though. Just download the latest version 6.10.6433.0 from here. Install it and restart if it prompts you to.
    While you're at it, check to see what BIOS version you have currently by pressing the FN + ESC keys. Look for 'F.##'. If it is less than F.25, go ahead and download BIOS version F.25 from here. During that installation, your notebook will restart on its own. Allow it to restart and get back to the Start screen. After those updates, test the sound auto-leveling issue and let me know the results when you get a chance

  • HT204370 My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
    Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
    That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
    Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

  • Microphone auto adjust while using google Hangout,

    Hi,
    While using Google Hangout the micrphone adjust itself, there is an option within Skype to stop it, but couldn't find it in Google Hangout, and it does it also when recording the sound, which lead me to believe it is Als/pulse related.
    Is there any option to disable it?
    Looking forward for your reply,
    Regards,

    Right,
    After searching the web a little bit more - actually quite easy to fine - but I was trying hangout for the first time.
    I found that solution, I haven't tested it yet; so if you do please let us know if it work.
    To turn off the auto adjust:
    cd ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin    # get to google chat's directory
    cp -p options options.bak        # make a backup before changing stuff !
    gedit options                # edit the config file
    now change one of the lines so that it reads as follows:
    audio-flags=1
    Now restart you machine and google chat will no longer auto-adjust!!!
    Remember to go to PulseAudio volume control just to make sure the left channel stays at 0

  • Brightness auto adjusting problem with Toshiba 39l22U.

    I own a Toshiba 39 inch LED 60hz 1080p hdtv (Model 39l22u), and I've had nothing but problems for months. I bought it back in January of this year for 400$ at BB and I initially had no problem with it, I thought that once I figured out the best picture I'd be satisfied, so I never bothered to return it. My problem isn't the picture detail, it's actually really nice on Bluray movies. My problem is something else. The brightness sort of adjusts when you move your camera angle around in video games. Unfortunately not many own this tv and the ones that have it and reviewed it said it's fantastic and has no problems, not a single mention of this.
    The overall brightness of the TV adjusts to what you're looking at in game. For example, looking down at a road on Grand Theft Auto V the road gets brighter and the sky gets darker, then when I look up the road gets a bit darker while the sky gets brighter. While driving in a car at fast speeds can be an eyesore because the camera is moving and the brightness is adjusting a lot. It's like the TV is auto adjusting the brightness for some reason. 
    I also had another problem, but I was able to solve it. Dark areas would dim when the camera's in motion then go back to normal when you stop moving the camera angle in games. This was solved by turning the brightness up and it disappeared. So naturally I thought that maybe by turning up or down on things like the backlight, contrast, gamma etc that maybe this would go away, but it's still there. 
    This TV doesn't have many extra settings when it comes to Picture. Aside from the basics you have Dynamic Contrast and Dynamic Lighting, nether of which cause this problem as it still happens when I turn both of these off. There's no energy saving feature aside from powering down when not in use for a period of time. I'm stumped here, ether my TV is faulty or there's some sort of auto brightness adjust built into the TV that you can't change. I've also tried every different setting in my Xbox 360's display settings, but it's still the same problem.
    Unfortunately I can't find out much about this TV, only a few reviews in which people say the TV is great. Which makes me think my TV is faulty. 
    Is my TV faulty? Or Is there something that could be causing this? Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    I'm unfamiliar with that problem. If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 631-3811.

  • How do you reset the Work Area Bar to auto adjust?

    This is something that's been a thorn in my side for a while. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it... but I've been wondering if there is a way, once you reposition the I / O points of the Work Area Bar (WAB) you can get Pr to go back to auto adjusting it to the end of your clip.
    You can double-click it to get it to expand to the full length of the sequence, if you remember to do that... Sometimes I'm in a rush, or I have 10 sequences and I miss the fact that my WAB is not all the way to the end. I select and batch drag them all to Media Encoder and *POW*... I've forgotten to stretch the Out to end on one sequence ... and I have to re-render. A pain, yes, something I should have double checked, but at 2am these things can get missed.
    So, can you get the Work Area Bar to auto adjust again?
    If yes, it's probably something ridiculously obvious – but I'll take it!
    Thanks
    Stephen

    I would have an issue with auto or a default  for a number of reasons.
    Not least this one...
    I now place dummy clip ( black video)  a  distance off the end of my sequence to prevent the End of Sequence Marker displaying at the end of my edited material.  I dont want that included in an export.
    Here is another...
    As I get to lock down and I am sending previews to clients...I insert Black Video head and tail of the edit so that the preview does not start  jarringly on first frame video.  I have I and Os marked so that I can simply  export "Program at length (without black head and tail) when I  come to master.
    and...
    Often I have edit versions (TVCs) on the same time line ( sequence) and I need to adjust WAB or I/Os to export them separately.
    Automating stuff to eliminate our dumb moments doesnt help much because it just opens the chance of another dumb moment driven by expectation and forgetfulness. .
    Mental checklist is the only way IMHO.

  • Can no longer select or move audio clips on Narration track - what happened??

    I began my first Adobe Premiere Elements 11 project this morning, a short video (5 mins) I intend to upload to YouTube.  It's a comedy sketch involving inanimate objects that "talk", so it requires a lot of dialogue to be added to, in this case, the Narration track.
    I am not new to Premiere Elements.  In fact, I've done quite a bit of fairly complex editing on previous versions of the software (I upgraded to 11.0 from 8.0).  I've never had this problem before.
    After editing this project for well over 2 hours with no problem, I can suddently no longer move or even select any audio clip on my Narration track.  They are just frozen and stuck there.  Everything else works normally.  I can select and move all other clips on all other tracks.  Further, all audio clips will play, even the ones on the Narration track.  However, I can no longer move, select, or even add any clip to the Narration track.
    I opened a new project to see if the problem persisted, but it didn't - I could add, select, move audio clips on the Narration track just fine.
    I'm stuck and bewildered.  The project I've already invested 2-3 hours into seems permanently broken.  The audio clips on my Narration track will play, but I can't select, move, or otherwise do anything to them.
    My fear is not just that I'll have to start this project over again, but I'll never know when it will break again, and I'll lose all my work again.
    Help!
    Seriously, does anyone know what's happened?

    sleinbach
    Thanks for the details. As I suggested this idea that I had after reading this thread may be just nonesense, but I thought it would be interesting to try.
    This is recommended done with a copy of the project that you have now.
    For now, let us assume that the missing track names are part of the locked Narration Track syndrome. I am not sure if your narration clip was generated in Premiere Elements narration feature or created elsewhere and brought into the program. That would be interesting information to have. But, nonetheless, moving forward with this idea.
    Given you cannot move, delete, change, etc what is on this Narration Track. Whatever is on that Narration Track traces back to an original on the hard drive and probably is shown in Media Cache's (Adobe Folder) as  conformed audio cfa and pek set.
    a. Find the narration hard drive hard location and move it to a new location (special folder on hard drive). When you go back to the copy of the problem project, you should be greeted with one of those "Where is....?" messages. Cancel out of that. Do not do anything within that message dialog.
    b. Right click the thumbnail for your narration in Project Media and select Replace Footage. Then browse to and select the original that you had moved to the computer desktop and the special folder there.. Click OK. That should restore the file (including whatever effects were made to the file) to the project.
    c. Has any of that had any effect on unlocking the Narration Track?
    Other maneuvers to try
    a. Trying to locate and delete any cfa or pek files associated with the problem audio.
    b. Switching to an Aero Theme for Windows if you do not have one set so far.
    Thanks for giving all of that a look at.

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • How to auto adjust the height of my div tag?

    This is my website www.whistleandlisten.com
    The white background is a div tag and whenever I add new content within the div tag I want it to auto adjust to extend the white div tag down as the page gets longer. I have tried css and set my height to auto but that makes it disappear. Right now I have to set it to a certain amount of pixels which gets annoying and sometimes I forget to after adding lots of content. PLEASE HELP.

    To have an extensible height element, you should not apply the height property as you have done starting at line 9 of songcss.css

  • Cannot transfer .mov audio from pages to epub

    I am a total newbie at making epubs...
    I have dragged a .mov audio file made in quicktime into my pages document.  It is inline.  The audio file works when I click on it (speaker icon) in the pages document.
    After converting to epub, the speaker icon disappears and I have no audio available.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
    I have pages version 4.1

    It's interesting that 'they' have decided to NOT let folks on 10.4 produce an ePub (from Pages). I understand that I cannot 'do' the whole ePub consumer side on this machine but I was hoping to get a bit of a headstart while on the road. (The mini at home base is running 10.6 and is my ePub production environment. That version of iWork9 does have the later Pages, which is why I was surprised when I could not find the same UI on my 'travel' machine.)
    As to why I don't upgrade the G4? I need one machine that can run Classic. So it will live at 10.4.11 for the rest of its life.
    I have my fingers crossed that today's announcement will include a suitable Macbook Air update ... one that is not too wide and/or too high. (The 13" 'books have been too large a footprint to replace my trusty 12" so I've been holding out...)
