I would like an option when playing back a movie through my Roku to have the audio normalized. &nbsp;I have quite a few movies that sound great downstairs with the whole multiple speaker setup, but when I want to watch them in bed (with just the TV's speakers) I have to always have my hand on the volume remote because the dialog is so soft and the explosions so loud. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

Ideally, since I'm doing this through the Roku, I'd like the option to be under Playback Options in the details of a particular movie.

This drives me nuts as well. I think the techinical term for what you are looking for is Dynamic Range Compression. I would love for this to be supported on a server level so all clients can make use of it.

yes please - also volumes should be normalised - I only notice the different volumes of files on the roku.
