Dynamic audio per source (night mode)

[warthog]

It would be great to add an option to a specific source to enable or disable dynamic audio like on some AVRs: full, medium, night modes. Night mode would dynamically adjust the sound such that the difference between the loudest sounds and the softest sounds are minimised.

I was just about to post this. I have TCL speaker made only for Roku TVs that I bought for $50 and it can do this. Honestly it's the only feature I miss from that soundbar. I'd love to see this feature on my WiiM Amp! It's annoying having to turn down the audio every time there's a transition between a fight scene and regular dialogue. There was a night mode that caps off the loudest sound at a certain point as well as a volume leveling mode that I think prevents too much volume deviation from the baseline audio... Or something like that.

Edit: just found a link to a reddit thread where some people explain it much better than I just did https://www.reddit.com/r/Roku/s/yJeqBLRmQM

Could you try the 'Spoken Word' preset EQ mode and see if it improves your experience? It's also suitable for night mode listening.

I just tried it tonight and it's not really doing what I need it to unfortunately.

Probably more like so:

“Loudness” option - equal loudness curves based EQ for low level listening.

Maybe this could tie in with the upcoming room EQ feature because the feature will obtain an approximate SPL of the speaker system for a given device volume setting. Therefore a set of Fletcher Munson equal loudness contours could be applied as an EQ based on the device volume being at certain...
