Various factors can contribute to the volume level difference. If
the recording uses a format that is supported by your sound system
(for example AC-3), and you have the correct settings in android
setup, and you select mediacodec, the encoded stream goes directly
to the sound system, where it is decoded into surround sound. In
this case, the android device has no control of the volume.<br>
<br>
leanfront does nothing to affect the volume, whether or not it is
passed through to the sound system. If you select ffmpeg decoding,
or you select auto and the system selects ffmpeg, the audio is
decoded by ffmpeg and sent as PCM digital audio to the TV. Nothing
is done to affect the volume. To change the volume would require
modifying the digital stream.<br>
<br>
There may be android settings on your device (e.g. quiet mode) that
let you adjust the overall audio volume or volume range.<br>
