Level Change impacts the Content Quality of the asset. Member experience will be negatively affected if the dialogue level drops below an audible level. If audio levels rise abruptly, it may take the member out of the seamless viewing experience. In some cases, may be creative intent on the part of the content producer.
Monitor audio on timeline, and double check exports. Netflix will use Dolby Media Meter, Nugen LM Correct, or Baton Auto QC to check levels. Please use the same tools to measure/verify for consistency. Review audio at cuts for any induced fluctuations in levels.
This was fixed for me by installing pavucontrol per Sorin Veștemean's answer, going to the Configuration tab and altering my USB headset output format to analog stereo output + mono input, going back to the Output Devices tab and bumping THAT output's volume up to 100% (it was at something like 50%).
Opinion: The fact that Ubuntu fails to retain my audio output settings through reboots and seemingly randomizes the configuration until I go in and manually fix it half the time with a custom-installed tool is a ridiculous usability issue.
When the microphone level on the system settings is > 100% (and it sometimes seems to adjust itself to > 100%) in my setting the microphone becomes almost completely silenced. The solution is to make sure that the microphone level stays < 100%.
We understand that you wanted to manage your volume on your movie while watching, allow us to help you with that.
Movies and television shows can have a wide range of sounds, but using the volume modes on your compatible Roku streaming device lets you enjoy a more even listening experience. Switch to automatic volume leveling to hear more consistent audio levels across various types of entertainment, making it less jarring when a commercial comes on or while switching channels. Use Night Mode to reduce the volume level for louder scenes and boost it for quieter ones, letting you watch late-night TV without disturbing others.

All the best,
LOL I was just thinking about that today. I don't recall what all the defaults are, and the ones I have flipped I haven't really 'tested' them, so I can't say. And then you have all the different scenarios with different media where it may or may not affect your experience.
Every digital audio is PCM, from the basics, but encoded differently. One of its encodings approach is Dolby Audio, this having reference audio levels (volumes) for home theater listening, which is a quite old standard nowadays albeit used. They scope 85dB average, 105dB peaks in any satellite speakers (front left/right, central, side left/right, surround left/right). This setting will set any and every digital audio source (PCM) being passed through (or decoded) and level it to Dolby reference. It can help improve the dynamic range by using a standard. Netflix content has narrow reference levels and by matching Dolby it gets closer to the dynamic range of it, for example.
You might be familiar with the high-resolution audio term or going through Windows Audio Settings and seeing CD-quality, DVD-quality, and Studio-quality as audio quality options. As an industry standard, CD is the equivalent of 44.1kHz at 16-bit PCM audio, while DVD is commonly 48kHz at 24-bit, and Studio is 96kHz - 192kHz at 24-bit. It illustrates how many times per second it can sample (x times 1000 Hz) and how much data it can hold (216 or 224 different numbers representing data per sample). High-res audio starts beyond 44.1kHz at 16-bit and the term is normally used for 96/24 or 192/24.
I have both enabled. I'm running the Shield in an LG CX and a Samsung Q950A and both support the most common high-res lossless audio formats, although the TV only via passthrough since by itself it caps at 44/16. I passthrough all the data digitally through the TV to the soundbar that, then, decodes it and converts to analog.
I have noticed this also. Previously had a beam which I would rarely need the volume to be above 30 percent. Now with the arc, I need it to at least 50 percent. I have an LG Oled c9. I wasn't sure if it was the arc that was faulty or just had less volume then the beam but double the price of the beam this can not be the case. Hopefully this will be fixed soon with an update.
Does anyone else have this problem with the Arc? The volume sounds so low even though I have disabled the night mode and turned on loudness. I have to push the speaker level up to 30 to hear anything
All of a sudden, the volume has become low on my sonos. Normally, I listen at around 20-25 but now to hear the same level, I have to increase up to 40-45. Started noticing this after the software update. Happens both with Samsung Q8FN native apps and Apple TV4K
I'm getting the same on mine too. Right now I'm listening at almost 90% with my YouTube Music account and it's not that high... My old Samsung sound bar sounds much higher than this.. If they don't get this fixed somehow I think I'll return it.
We had the same issue and just resolved it. On the mobile app, we had set the volume limit to 85% bc my daughter turned the volume up so loud one day. As soon as we changed that to 100% (basically turned off the limit) all went back to normal. Problem solved for us! Give it a try?
Exactly the same issue here, just happened about a week or so ago, I need my volume turned up to around 70 for it to be quiet but audible, given up trying to resolve the issue and just turned the speaker off altogether, back to TV speakers now.
This thing is just to glitchy, with Google assistant randomly poping up for no reason, and always having to do restarts for volume dropping out completely, I have another post on here regarding the poor Bass, fed up now, overall I've been quite disappointed with my Sonos ARC, time to see if I can return it for a refund.
I first went down the chat route with Sonos, the rep had me unplug everything and plug it all back in again with no improvement, I did try and tell her I'd already tried that numerous times myself...anywho.
She ran a diagnostic her end and reported that my system was not showing any issue, but with her help I did at least narrow things down a little, using Spotify and Satellite TV my volume seemed to be ok, although Netflix and YouTube the volume was terrible and needed to be cranked 70% and over....don't ask me why.
My fix was this, I went into the audio settings on my Sony Bravia TV, selected "Audio Output" then scrolled down to a setting called, "Digital Audio Out Volume" I have no idea what its function is or if it had anything to do with my issue, but it was at 50%, so I took it all the way up to max....and to my surprise, that did it.
I also have this problem i sometimes run my arc on 100% vollume i also called the help desk and they say try use the optical port instead of hdmi but find this weird because it came with this cable and you want to be able to do dolby atmos and with optical this is not possible.
