I think one key point to consider is that some people are reporting issues and others are saying it’s fine. Some users are noting units locking up where others are not. I mentioned this before in a different thread, could there be some kind of hardware issue going on here related to what we are seeing.
Honestly I don’t have an issue adjusting my volume. It’s a nuisance but livable. Do I think something should be done about besides what has, yes.
You sometimes have that phenomenon when the same brand (or parts) is manufactured by two different sources.
Double would be about perfect for me. Can you guys just make two different firmware branches?
Also when you say it’ll be twice as loud, do you mean the volume would increase by 3 dB? Because twice the sound energy isn’t necessarily perceived as “twice as loud” by human ears
@TabloTV I understand that doubling the volume for everyone isn’t a good idea, but for those of us that it does matter why can’t it just be a check mark in the Tablo settings? “Want your recordings to be louder, check this box -->”
I use Tablo with PlayStation Vue on a Fire TV. My experience over several months has gradually gotten better as software/firmware for all items involved continues to evolve. At this point, the only two issues I have with the Tablo experience are
The “slow” issues with startup and channel change, and
The above Volume thingy. Moving between Tablo (local channels) and Vue (the cable channels) the volume manifests itself by almost exactly a factor of 2. Going from Vue to Tablo I have to turn up the volume on my tv from 20 to 40. Likewise, going in reverse, from Tablo to Vue, I have to turn down the volume from 40 to 20.
So, I wholeheartedly agree with the above poster. Somehow, make it a user option!
Unfortunately they have already said they can not make it a user option.
It will NOT blow the eardrums off. @TabloTV how about takiing a vote and see what everyone says. Most will probably be extremely overjoyed with doubling the volume.
I am in favor of the volume being doubled because that has been an irritant to me also.
That’s odd. Why would something like that be that low-level. You’d think it’d just have to be an extra argument at the time of encoding. Admittedly I’m not an expert though.
Agreed, I really don’t understand why it has to be so low level. Since they’re transcoding the audio from 5.1 to stereo, they’re already modifying the audio stream - I don’t see why they can’t change the volume at the same time. Even if it only applied to new recordings, that would be acceptable.
I agree. Had mine for 8 months, I have reported the same problem and blamed it on the Roku treating Tablo like a step child
Damn straight Skippy 
Agreed, volume is too low. If it can’t be fixed in the current hardware, please make sure that this is addressed in future models.
I have a 4210 Roku 2 that’s been connect to both an older Sharp and new Panasonic. The volume level of tablo play back of record shows and Live T.V. is the same as directly attached antenna and other OTT services.
The only exception is the CBS News app which always plays way too loud.
I believe volume issues have more to do with individual setups and variables than with the Tablo itself. IMNSHO “Fixing” it would be a disservice to the majority of users.
I agree, add it to the list of options under “Advanced/expert”
Although my request for unaltered MPEG2 stream to disk would solve the low volume issue for me. If my wish actually became a reality. 
It was a problem for me too. Had to turn the volume up on all Roku devices, Roku 3, 1st gen stick and 2nd gen stick. Also on HP Slate Pro running Android 4.2 using Bluetooth audio to an amplified speaker it was so low it was unusable as I couldn’t hear it unless I put my ear to it. I finally switched the hdmi input and put a Roku stick on it which was better but still too low in some scenes. Gave up and couldn’t run Tablo on that device.
The volume on the Tablo app is also very low on AndroidTV (straight from my Sony Bravia). We need to crank it up as much as 2-3 times higher than other apps.
Would love to see a volume boost option. The recording levels are too low. It’s consistent for us across all devices. Roku, android, windows, etc
I would also like to chime in that the audio needs to be turned up as well.
All shows before the Tablo were only needed on my system to be turned to volume 38 to hear normally. Now, we find ourselves turning it up to volume 52 to get to the 38 volume before Tablo.
This is on all my TV sets.
My upstairs TV went from normal audio before Tablo to volume 8, to now volume 13.
