Different volumes for different sound sources

[scb]

Hi

This may have been asked before but I couldn't find it with a search.

There is wide variation in loudness between different sound sources for the same volume setting. It's annoying when answering the phone etc.

I'm aware that this is a function of the dB of the source material but it also seems that it is also a function of the source. Despite reading the manual I don't see any mechanism of altering the attenuation of any one source so that I can balance them somewhat.

Thanks

i don't know of any car or audio system that can compensate for the loudness of different recordings or sources.
even switching between different XM stations, you find great variation in the loudness.

Figured as much.
Thank you.
