In Germany we don't have a "normal" audio level on TV either. The user needs to control the audio level manually. It's only ensured that audio isn't distorted, assumed we don't call too much compression distorted. Some countries on our continent, e.g. former Yugoslavia seems to use overdrive effects before TV audio is sent. Here I only receive CNN and regarding to audio I experienced nearly the same as for German TV stations. No lip sync, more compression than needed, regarding to the level, it's steady, if you switch from any other station to CNN, it's much to loud. But who cares, since program content in Germany everyday gets lower, audio isn't the major issue. “Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.” ― Bill Hicks “I can't watch TV longer than five minutes without praying for nuclear holocaust.” ― Bill Hicks http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/144990.Bill_Hicks http://sennoma.net/main/edits/Hicks.html _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
