Volume from TV on Playbar is low

I have the same problem. It's really frustrating. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Sony KD-65X9005B optical out.
Soundbar + 2 play1s and a sub.

I have changed the switch , can't say I solved the problemi, but it looks a bit better ....

Hi everyone, I'm just sharing what I found.

I own a 4K Samsung TV, and noticed as well the volume was low compared to when I stream music.

Reset Audio sound from TV, no improvement, But then I went to Settings>Audio>Advanced (something like that)

And with the Dolby compression settings and everything, I had the choice between LINE and RF

It was on RF, putting it on LINE solved everything 🙂

I've discovered that my Sky+ box is the worst offender. Sound from my TV is louder from the apps (YouTube, media player etc.) but passed through sound from the Sky box is much lower. ... and ... some channels are quieter than others. The HD channels tend to be louder than the SD channels.

With the optical plugged directly into the sky box it's fractionally louder but nothing to get excited about.

So, I'm left running Sky at around 80% max volume, then having to drop it to 15% before playing music.

Shame Sky doesn't have any output adjustments.

The samsung TV ste to LINE is way better than with RF, but still I feel the maximum volume remains lower compared with music streaming....

I have also a 5.1 setup with playbar,sub and 2 play 1's.I feel that the dialogue is too low(even with speech enhancement) and I have to turn up the volume but doing that the surround and sub overwhelm the dialogue.When you go into advanced setting you can adjust the surround and the sub but you cannot adjust the playbar or dialogue.Is there a way of adjusting the playbar or dialogue or can it be put into the next update on sonos.I am hoping that a sonos employee can respond to my enquiry

Hi, coming back to forums since Dialogue volumes are waaaay to low compared to movie general sound.

Tried Night mode & Voice stuff, but looks like something is wrong in channel management about voice, any fix coming about that?

any new advice? have a samsung connected to the playbar, changing the audio settings on my TV (line, RF, dolby, ...) doesn't change a thing...

A year old thread :)

Does your TV have settings to adjust the digital output from "Variable" to "Fixed"?

I have the fixed/variable setting but the only difference it seems to make is to get rid of the "fixed volume" message and show the volume bar on the tv - no change in sound
