Media Player Classic - Home Cinema question

[Wake]

Ok I'm a noob when it some to this player because I only started to use it a few weeks ago for the first time so bare with me if you could; for if this (which I'm really hoping) is a silly easy question/fix. Since I downloaded it and started using the player it's worked great and I never touched the original settings, but Friday I go to used it to play a video and the sound is almost nothing (even with headphones). I checked and both my computer volume and the players volume control on the front skin of the player and it's turned all the way up and still the sound is almost nothing. My computer sound is working fine, I opened a video in Windows Media Player Classic to check. But whatever video I play in Media Player Classic - Home Cinema it is almost too soft to hear let alone make out what people are saying in the playing video. Is there some advanced setting that I can control the volume with or anything else that I can try, to fix the problem?

Sounds like it was encoded with audio that wasn't normalized first.

You can click the view tab (or right click on video) -> options -> audio switcher.

Click the box for 'Normalize' then select apply.

If this doesn't help you can always go back and up the boost you see on that screen, though I would recommend not boosting it unless needed.

Thank you, the "normalize" has quite improved the volume to an adequate level. Though oddly it's still not the same as if I play it in another player, but... this player otherwise from this incident works way better then VLC so....
