Has anyone else noticed that the volume of spoken parts on the Blu-ray and DVD is very soft relative to the rest of the film?

Also in general, the volume is very low. Is there a setting to fix this?

I am using the PS3 with a Westinghouse SK-32H240s and an external stereo system providing speakers?

Thanks,

Would need more info on your stereo system itself. Someone else had a similar complaint and it turned out their center channel was not turned up :p

Are you telling us what you're using or are you asking us what you're supposed to use?

yea but that gets pretty freaking annoying when you pop in a game and start to play. boom goes your speakers.

A similar issue is when you go from the BD menu into a special feature that's encoded differently - the volume is lower, so you jack up the volume, only to be brought back to the BD menu when the special feature is over and suddenly your ears hurt.

I do not have this problem at all. Have you volume balanced all your speakers from your listening position?

Also this might have to do with the specific movie you are watching. Some have poor volume balancing IMO.

not really
this is a known issue

i have my system calibrated, and i do notice that the volume i use to get my desired "loudness" on a movie is considerably higher than games or music (wether is lossy or lossless audio track)

for example.. a movie sounds great on my sony at vol 45

games are great at vol 37 and music at vol 33-35 when just listening around the house

i dont have great volume changes between tracks, but compared to a CD, game, radio, pandora, etc, movies are very "soft"

It isn't a problem, Movies aren't soft at all it's just that have a tonne of dynamic range, something of which most modern music doesn't.

Bloody loudness war. Coimpression sucks

Same thing happens for me. It is annoying. The worst ones that I have experienced are the recent James Bond blu-rays.

Have a look in settings > Audio > Volume leveling .
Try ticking or un ticking that box and see if that sorts it.

Sorry it's in the Blueray/DVD settings
