Knew that would get attention.

Can someone design a device that reduces the volume of your TV during the adverts?

It's getting worse - ads start - volume jumps.

Come on, there's plenty of clever people here.

Ye I have one here its got 2 buttons one with a + and one with a - on! lol

sorry couldn`t resist it.

the volume on ads, it does take the piss

I have been consistently informed that the volume is not any louder on adverts and I of course believe the TV companies.

It may of course be that the adverts use more sound compression, work in Mono, or use full level throughout the advert, none of which are done in main programmes. Not really sure what makes them louder, but nine out of ten people who say they are, cannot be wrong. ;)

 

[Analoguesat]

Its generally reckoned to be caused by the compression on the sound in the adverts giving it much more "punch"

At the end of the day the only way to stop it is for numerous people to complain to ofcom and maybe even to the companies behind the worst adverts telling them you wont buy their products. Hit them in the pocket and maybe the practise will cease

 

[dig deep]

The louder the better :mad:

Here in Sweden we have a law that forbids the raising of the sound while in the ad mode Won´t work on the sat program only for terrestical ones

I have one here its got 2 buttons one with a + and one with a - on

I use the mute as I hate ads.
