Sound level

I am having to constantly adjust volume when switching between my STB and aTV4. And in particular, the Apple Music on the aTV4 is super loud. But even between other apps it is all over the place. One of the frustrating aspects of the aTV4. Never had an issue like this with my aTV3. Of course, I didn't have Apple Music on the aTV3 and that is the main culprit. The other variations are minor comparatively, which is probably why I did not have this issue with the aTV3.

 

On the apps that give you issues you need to swipe down from the top and choose "Reduce loud sounds". This will even out the volume. You might want to even download the user manual so that you can use the device properly.

 

That doesn't always work. Some advertisements are really loud and this setting does nothing for those.

 

"Reduce Loud Sounds" reduces the dynamic range of the audio not change the overall audio volume. It is used for reducing the sound of things like explosions in situations where it might be disturbing to others, like your neighbors in an apartment building or your kids and they have gone to sleep. Maybe YOU should read the manual.
