ELI5. Why are Speaker and TV volume not constant across services

381 viewsOtherTechnology

My car plays the radio, Sirius and Bluetooth at different volumes when set at the same volume number. My TV the same thing when using different streaming services, some louder than others. Why does the same device volume number not make the volume the same across all broadcasts when that is what I would expect to be the final output control?

Your volume control is only a multiplier, positive or negative, to the original volume of what you’re playing. The TV/stereo manufacturer has no control over what that original volume was.
