Description James 2006-05-17 04:05:33 UTC 
usually between songs, the volume goes down.  I have to fiddle awkardly with the volume control to get the volume to coax rhythmbox to output the normal volume again.
Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2006-05-17 07:20:34 UTC 
Maybe your songs have (bad) replay gain tags?
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2006-05-17 07:20:56 UTC 
(or on the contrary, maybe they don't have such tags, and you should add some ;)
Comment 3 James 2006-05-17 21:16:16 UTC 
How do I add/remove them?
Comment 4 James 2006-05-22 21:15:09 UTC 
If there is a way, please let me know.  It is very annoying to have to constantly change the volume control.  It would be nice if rhythmbox had a way to disable this 'feature.'
Comment 5 Jonathan Matthew 2006-05-22 22:40:02 UTC 
Are you sure the problem is actually caused by replaygain, and not some other weirdness?  Run rhythmbox -D replaygain and attach the output, preferably with points where you observed volume changes marked.

Comment 7 James "Doc" Livingston 2006-05-23 02:17:46 UTC 
Yeah, this is because of replaygian. Making it optional (which we really should do) is bug 145103, so I'm marking as a dupe of that.
