Q: Still Dissapointed with Apple TV Surround Sound!
Well after several months of using the Apple TV4 I have to say I'm still very dissapointed with the surround sound.
I have a decent surround sound receiver and speakers system but ever since buying the ATV4 the sound isn't as good as it used to be and is poor when compared to other inputs like Sky HD for example. I have it set up on a 7.1 Best Audio possible Setting.
Its mainly the issue of when I'm watching a movie. If listening to music it sounds great but put a movie on and I always have to crank the volume up. As an example I was listening to music at -30db on the amp but watched The Good Dinosaur with my family yesterday and had to crank sound up to -15db and before anyone mentions -15 is louder than -30 on my system with 0db being reference sound.
I don't understand why there is such as vast difference between music and movies. Even Netflix sounds better. Sky HD sounds better. I've followed enough threads and comments on here to pretty sure I have it set up correctly but still It's pants.
Come on Apple get this sorted it's so frustrating!!
