Every damn time! As someone who is not a video editor or sound engineer, isn’t it pretty easy to equalize all the sound?
On Windows, right click the sound icon, go into sound options, playback, double click on your default playback device, and go to the Enhancements tab.
LOUDNESS EQUALIZATION
is fucking awesome and more people should be aware of it. It’s baked into Windows 10!
Does that work if using VLC?
Edit - For W10, right click the sound icon and choose Open Sound Settings
Under Choose Your Output Device, click Device Properties
On the right side of the screen, click Additional Device Properties
You'll find the enhancements tab there
If you are running that VLC on Windows, yes!
It is a setting on the sound device, which VLC uses.
Indeed! Like the other poster says, it’s ALL THE SOUNDS.
Turn it off for games and music*, but I turn it on for EVERYTHING else. It makes things bearable to watch! IT’S MAGIC
vlc has a compressor which is what "loudness equalization" uses.
They are EQ for 5.1 and the voice goes into the center channel. In a proper system the center channel is bigger than the satellites so you get clear dialog, but if you try to output 5.1 into two channels everything is squeezed together
Even with a 5.1.2 setup new movies and series sound equalization sucks
