So... Dolby Volume is really just replaygain-on-the-fly? It does sound (urgh) useful, though.

I'd like to see Dolby TrueHD integrated into motherboard chipsets ASAP.

My Toshiba LCD professes to doing something similar to Dolby Volume but it does not really ever work and quite often I find myself dashing for the remote to save my eardrums from the crass adverts, so if Dolby can really make it work then I for one would find it a great relief.

Dolby Volume would make me very happy if it worked.

I always knew commercials were louder than shows on broadcast TV...but it's even worse now that I've gone digital. The thing that really makes me mad is that the loudest ads are the one for the station itself. (ie: I'm watching ABC/Fox/NBC tv shows...on comes the set of commercials and things get a little louder....then on comes the commercial for the network news, and volume goes way up again. terrible...especially late at night.) I think ABC is the worst for this.

I think commercials *have* to be louder to meet some legal requirement of commercial volume compared to TV show volume...but since I can't imagine the network filing a lawsuit against itself, it is especially reprehensible when the network's commercials for itself are the loudest.

TrueHD is a lossless compression of 7.1 surround sound capable of being transmitted via HDMI; if it were to be integrated into a motherboard chipset, you'd also need an amp capable of decoding that signal and a decent 7.1 speaker set.
I don''t think there are any TrueHD amps available yet, but when they do appear, expect them to cost upwards of a couple of grand...

I lol'ed basicly all gimiky crap

want good sound get a decent amp source and speakers/headhpones. Don't buy a box to put between your crappy source and Ipod earbuds.

Go to Niveus web site: http://www.niveusmedia.com/

You'll need very deep pockets if you want one of their machines though. I don't think the cases are available separately.
