[vdr] AW: Re: AW: Re: Volume level in vdr

["Ulrich Petri" <ulope@gmx.de>]

OK :)

I try it again ;-)

My problem is as follows:

I have my tv connected with the composite out and the stereo out to my
tv.

I use a DVB-s under Win with Multidec 8.0 and WinDVBLive. With both
progs the Volume level is "normal".

Under Linux with vdr 0.99 and siemens-0.9.4 (also 0.9.3) driver, the
sound is very quiet (as i said before noises are nearly louder that the
signal).
In my setup.conf CurrentVolume is 255.

So please what am i doing wrong?

I have a 2.1 rev TT DVB-s.
