Hi,
Wondered if someone could help with audio settings?
I'm using a Jarvis Beta 3 DSPlayer build and since switching to a DSPlayer build the speech in films is quiet whilst the sound effects are loud. There seems to be quite a few threads about this over the years, which I have looked at, but given that it would seem it has something to do with DSPlayer or the associated settings I thought those on this thread may be able to help.
So I used the very informative guide by Warner306 to setup DSPlayer and am using ReClock as the audio renderer - but in all honesty I don't understand all these things too well, so am at a loss as to whether the solution to my issue would be solved by modifying settings in ReClock, LAV, FFDShow, Kodi, my TV or something else.
I don't use a receiver, just HDMI straight from video card to TV and therefore using the TV speakers.
Also thought it might be worth mentioning - TV volume for music files or TV Shows (mostly recorded) is 5-8 whilst Blu-ray movies that are backed up using DVDFab and compressed using BDRebuilder need circa 20-25 volume to hear the speech but then the sound effects are too loud.
Apologies if this isn't really the correct thread, but as mentioned, thought those in the know of DSPlayer may be the best to ask.
Many thanks

Hi,
Another issue which seems to be DSPlayer related for me - when I watch programs, that have been recorded off the telly, through Kodi they automatically play the stream with narration. If I go into audio settings there aren't any other streams available, whereas before using DSPlayer there was.
If I play the file in VLC I can choose from two audio streams.
Is there a setting in Kodi or elsewhere that I am missing?
Many thanks

Warner, it seems for SD content and with SuperRes you prefer the crispen algo over sharpen edges. Just wondering if it looks better to you or is it because of a smaller performance hit (or both!) Over at the doom9 forum, the sharpen algo seems to get more love than crispening.
I generally don't want any additional sharpening for HD material but I'm trying to figure out the new algos' usefulness for SD. I'm sitting quite close to the tv set, so any improvements are welcome to make SD content bearable, LOL. Just very limited time for testing and tweaking unfortunately.
