Too Loud TV After Turning Off Apple TV

Hello

I recently got the latest Apple TV (2015). I connected it to my 2011 Samsung TV. It works fine, and when I put the apple tv sleep, it turns my TV off, and that's OK.

However, my TV starts with a very loud sound when I turn it on a few minutes later. It is so loud that it almost blasts my speakers out in my TV, and I had to reduce the sound immediately.

Is any one experiencing this problem? Any advise to fix it is greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same issue. The TV comes back at FULL volume for 10-20seconds after switching from Apple TV2 DVMI source to my DirectTV source. TV volume controls at 0 doesn't do anything until the LOUD volume ends. TV Mute does work but no matter how long I leave mute on, the LOUD period still happens afterwards. My previous Apple TV 1 never did this.

I have exactly the same issue with a Samsung TV turning on full volume when the apple TV (ATV 4) is turned off. My ATV is plugged into the surround sound, and you view box plugged into the TV. It's really doing my head in now.

Are you turning the volume up to watch videos with low volume? There's only one TV volume control for all inputs, so what's good for one may be too loud for the others.

Have you by any chance enabled "Reduce loud sounds" on your ATV? It may be lowering ots output level to protect your hearing...

Hello, Did you have any luck resolving this? I also have this issue. I have the AppleTV4 going to a 2011 Samsung LED TV. Sometimes when the TV is turned on by the AppleTV I get a few seconds burst of what sounds like higher than full volume. Sounds like it is practically killing the speakers on the TV. Not sure if this is an issue with the Apple or Samsung?
