So I’ve noticed that I have to turn up the volume when watching/using the tablo app. So much so if I switch to netflix or hulu I have to turn it down by like 5 - 10 “clicks” (tablo at 20 on vol, whereas the others are on 13).
Is there a setting I’m missing or just the way it works?
It’s a known issue for some users. Tablo support maintains that the Tablo doesn’t change the native volume when it transcodes, but for whatever reason, it is lower than normal for some.
I can’t really tell a difference. I don’t alter the volume on my TVs between playing Netflix (and other Roku apps) and playing the Tablo app.
I see a big difference on mine, from Tablo at 40 on my TV to Netflix at 20. I am surprised you don’t see any difference. Almost makes me wonder if it is hardware issue not identified yet
Yep, it is definitely an issue on all platforms I have tried. There is about a 15 point difference in volume level to reach the same output comparing Tablo to Hulu. I think Tablo said that it is a hardware limitation and their hardware manufacturer has no interest in helping them fix it
This hasd been mentioned numerous times, and they say that they can’t simply increase the sound, though I’m positive most, if not all would be extremely hasppy if they did. How about it @TabloSupport?
Or put in a control. My Roku channels are all about the same volume but when I switch to the TV’s “Antenna” input, it’s really low and I have to turn it up several clicks from the “Cable” input which is what my Roku is on. Sometimes I forget to turn it down before I switch back and it nearly blows my TV’s speakers and freaks the heck out of me!
I think mine is about double as well, I’ll have to verify. I wonder if you could double it on the source (Tablo) then cut it down to 2/3 on the client.
I understand the reluctance to force this change on everyone. In my case, I easily need to double my TV volume when watching Tablo to get to the same volume levels as shows from Netflix or Amazon. In fact, most the time is spent with the volume at max level.
The way it works. Not a biggy for me as long as the signal/noise ratio isn’t an audible issue. I get decreased volume but no way near 2/1 from direct to TV input vs Tabo. Some Apps like You Tube will vary wildly depending on source material.
I’d love to have an option to double the volume on the web app - on my laptop, I have Tablo’s Chrome Tab set to 100% and my output volume set to 100%, and the volume is still WAY too low. I can’t make it louder, because it only goes up that high!
The return of the volume level discussion that has been going on for around two years. It’s the goldilocks argument. It’s too high for some, too low for others, and even just right for a few.
