Dolby Digital Plus volume on YouTube is too low

by latinriky78

Now that YouTube is supporting Dolby Digital Plus I've noticed that the volume is too low on every video I tested, which means the encoder or something in the system is applying audio normalizing which makes it too low for my taste.

What do you think?

Please report this situation at the YouTube Feedback website so Google can do something about it if they receive several complaints. Thank you.

Normally Youtube does some dynamic range compression to make everything the same loudness. I would bet they don't do that for Dolby Digital Plus content because it would required re-encoding etc and they may not have licenses to do that or there may be any number of technical reasons.
