I keep getting my ears blown out because of sonarr downloading quiet rips. How can I fix this? Plex doesn’t seem to have any settings to do it.

    While I can’t offer a solution, it’s not that the rips are quiet. It’s most likely it’s multi-channel audio and your player/headphones is doing a bad job of downmixing it to stereo. It is probably easier to just make sure you are grabbing releases with 2.0 tracks from the beginning.

      Yeah that’s why I end up playing back video content with MPV (in my case using the jellyfin-mpv-shim). I’ve bound a couple of hotkeys to enable a custom 5.1->2.0 downmix, and another to enable dynaudnorm (basically dynamic compression) so that, when I’m not using headphones, I have a hope in hell of hearing the dialog without loud scenes waking up the neighbors.
