Someone really needs to build some sort of logarithmic volume filter into linux... a way to keep the normal volume scenes loud enough to hear but reduce the volume on the loud scenes. This way you can listen to a movie in the middle of the night and not annoy your neighbors and not need to keep lowering it everytime an action scene hits.... how is this not a thing already!

@freemo Modern soundtrack dynamics basically terrible, in my experience. Va and I just close-caption everything and keep the volume low. No other good answer for us.

@GeePawHill It would be soooo simple to fix too, I just dont get it.. Once I built a physical device that just goes inline on the audio cable and it provided dynamic level control.. it was a fun analog project... If your interested I can show you it running in a simulator online, its kinda cool.

Yes, please.
With particular emphasis on the temporal characteristics (impulse response) of the gain control parameter and the logarithmic characteristic of the AGC.
