Hello there,

with Sonos version 80.1-56190 the volume of Calm streaming service is close to muted. I disabled the limiter and can play with max volume. After enabling the limiter (80%) I can barely hear anything.

Sonos Radio or Deezer are not affected.

Feels like Calm has a different scaling of the limiter.

Switching between services forces me to adjust the volume.

Equalizer is default and loudness is disabled.

Thanks in advance fo any tips.

Lobby the broadcasters so they agree on a standard level for their transmission? It’s the same with tv stations and even programs versus adverts on some channels.

The standard volume didn't change. I get this behaviour only with activated volume limiter.
