Looking for advice
I just got my Sonos Beam delivered and I must say it has awesome volume and sound. That said. The problem I’m experiencing is that when I watch a movie or play a game, the sound effects are inconsistent as opposed to the ambiance, voice, and score of a movie or game.
The sound effects are way too loud versus the rest. This means i’m having to choose to enjoy the action/sound effects with a lower volume of music, speech and ambiance. Or having to choose the latter on a normal volume and scaring the shit out of my neighbors and girlfriend every time an action scene passes by.
- I tried to toggle the ‘Loudness’ feature on-and-off but it doesn’t do as much as I hoped.
- I tried to toggle the ‘Clear voice’ feature on-and-off but it doesn’t do as much as I hoped.
I have the idea that it might be the Dolby features. Dolby Digital maybe.
What are my options?
- Choosing stereo?
- Changing settings.
- Receiving knowledge of what Linear PCM means vs Dolby Digital.
My setup is as follows:
- LG55C8PLA (LG doesnt allow you to change settings when soundoutput is set to ARC)
- Playstation Pro (Can choose to select Dolby bitstream and Linear PCM)
- Sonos Beam
Please help me with this issue so that I can enjoy my Sonos Beam even more.
