I'm trying to balance the audio volume between all my applications on the FireTV 4k stick. The stick is connected to a Sony TV and using the built-in speakers. I find that when I switch to mythtv-frontend from other apps like SlingTV, Prime Video, Netflix, or Youtube, I have to raise the volume significantly to get Mythtv-frontend to the right level.

Any recommendations on fixing this??

I also have lower volume than all other applications when using MythFrontend 31.0-54-g445cf1fe6b-0 on a 2017 NVidia Shield with up-to-date Android. So far I have not discovered how to resolve this minor annoyance.

**EDIT**: For example if I can clearly hear all other applications at TV volume setting 20, then for MythFrontend I have to increase the TV volume setting to 30 to have the same level of volume.

I also get this problem. Both mythfrontend and leanfront produce identical volume levels. Amazon video and Netflix are much louder. In my case driving a Yamaha 5.1 sound amplifier.

I don't think this is native to the signal that is received by the tuners used by MythTV. If I use the SiliconDust HDHomerun app on FireTV 4k or Shield TV to play Live TV, it is the same volume level as all my other apps on those devices.

... Both mythfrontend and leanfront produce identical volume levels....

My wife normally uses Leanfront and has not complained. However, when I got her using Mythfrontend for Live TV, she started the complaining about the low volume level.

On my Shield TV I drive the sound through a AV Receiver, but on the FireTV she uses the built-in speakers. I know both apps have volume settings. I don't remember ever changing the Leanfront settings for audio, but on Mythfrontend, I unchecked the box for using internal volume controls.
