We all know the modern complaint: movie sound sucks now unless you have a high-end sound system. Frantically turning down the volume after turning it up to hear the dialogue only to need to turn it up again can be frustrating. Now, this doesn’t solve the underlying problem, but why not have a “Volume A” and “Volume B” you can easily set and toggle between with the simple press of a button?
Right up until you accidentally jump scare yourself by toggling to 100 or something.
There’s little reason for a user to not want immediate, mostly continuous volume control rather than jumps.
I want two very distinct volume settings. If I watch media through my Xbox (or play games through it) I need the volume around 20-ish on my receiver. But if I’m using the Apple TV, or back when I used the TV itself to watch stuff, the receiver needs to be around 30-ish. Can’t remember which category the Switch and PlayStation fall into, but I know it’s one of the two.
(This might be something I can fix on the receiver, now that I think about it.)
That’s a reason but unfortunately you’re in the minority.
This feature would need support on the TVs or receivers too. There’d need a set volume to x command instead of just up and down.
Right, I don’t think it’s a very likely feature I would just like it.
(Or I wish I could figure out why the exact same streaming content requires a different volume level depending on which device is playing it on a modern receiver with like, Dolby Atmos support and shit.)
In the post I mean in addition to the usual volume function. You could adjust the volume like normal in each volume toggle, there’d just be a button to swap between them. The point is you wouldn’t need to gradually change the volume if you set them at two different points and could just jump from your “loud” setting to your “quiet” one if you wanted.
