Trying to play DVR recording from my PMS to my FireTV. In direct modes volume is nice an loud for 2.0 & 5.1 channel recordings. However, with any transcoding on, audio becomes whisper quiet. I have Volume Boost set to Huge but neither that, Large, or Small have any impact. Am I doing something wrong here?
