    Default Audio Randomly Increases During Playback

    Hey guys,

    My boxee when I use Netflix or Spotify or Navi-X, etc; it will play at the volume set but at some random point in time, it just gets real loud/increased and remains at that volume throughout playback. Do you know what could cause this issue?

    The volume number never increases but the actual volume does.

    Thanks Darcilicious, its one of the most annoying bugs.

    Also one more thing, I noticed in general if I have an IPOD/MP3 Player connected vs Boxee playing my music on spotify or HDD attached that its still louder on the IPOD. Meaning the max on the boxee is not even close to the max volume of the ipod/mp3 player.

    Do you know anything about that?

    Your iPod/mp3 play connected to what?

    that its still louder on the IPOD. Meaning the max on the boxee is not even close to the max volume of the ipod/mp3 player.
    How is your Boxee connected for audio? (speakers, tv, a/v receiver via HDMI, RCA, optical)
    What audio settings are you using on the Boxee Box?

    Also, do you have volume control enabled on the Box and if so, have you made sure the volume is maxed out (use the up arrow key when play local video or music)?

    My IPOD/MP3 connected to my Onkyo Reciever.

    For 2nd question: My boxee is connected via HDMI to the Reciever. Yes the Volume Control is enabled.

    Playback Volume at same level for other peripherals is louder at the same number than the Boxee. I am not sure why.
