+19There is a huge difference between Dolby Atmos music and non-Atmos music. My system is Arc - Sub - 300s. For Atmos tracks I am usually at volume 29-30. With the same album in a different codec I have to use a volume of around 60 or more. God forbid I should mix Atmos & non-Atmos tracks in a playlist. TV volume and Atmos volume are closer to each other, but I don’t listen to TV that loud so maybe not a great comparison.
NOTE: My Volume Limit is set to 65.
I rarely listen to music on my Arc Ultra, 100 and Sub Room, but I didn't notice a difference in Atmos and stereo track volumes.
I do listen, a lot, to a 300 Pair and a 300 and Sub (gen 2) Pair and not hearing it there. I do notice volume differences between tracks, often quite aggravating, to the point I have tagged several too loud tracks to not play again. I noticed no correlation to Atmos or Stereo. I see the same volume issues on my Play 5 gen2, and a Beam (gen 1) that I use as a streaming speaker, no TV conmected.
Might be service related, I use Amazon Music Unlimited for almost all listening. What one or ones are you seeing this on?
+19Almost all Atmos are louder than their stereo counterpart. I usually use Qobuz for that comparison or if the stereo. Version is in my library I’ll use that. I also use Amazon Music Unlimited for the Atmos. Actually I mostly play Atmos on the Arc-Sub-300s. Occasionally I’ll try a stereo album which is when I notice that huge volume difference.
Not complaining too much. The dynamic range on Atmos music is awesome. Some classical orchestral almost makes me jump out of my chair.
