TV volume control
Does some one know of any add on equipment (processor etc.) that will compress or control the volume level of the TV sound output.
Like the jump in sound level of TV commercials.
AND level out the sound level between quite passages (whisper) and action (blaringly loud)
Follow Ups:
Anybody tweak their TV, i remember the good old days when a regular circular pot was the perfect solution to getting low level late night sound...v.i.
Million miles from home.
And us kids were the remotes...."Turn the volume up, put channel 10 on... turn it to channel 3, turn the volume down now...."
And we had just 12 channels and some UHF stations, and there was more to watch than there is now...
As to the posters original querry, fortunately our current TV has one of those compressors circuits built into it. Screwing with the volume like that should be illegal, and the FCC should stop them from doing it.
Yeah, that'll happen....
It's all about the music...
torque required to change the handful of channels, we kept a pair of needle-nosed pliers on top of the set to accomplish that task!12 channels and UHF ?
You must be a youngster! When I was a kid there were only the three network channels, and one or maybe two local stations. Every local station had some insipid clown, super hero or train engineer showing five or six different 30 year old Popeye cartoons, again and again and again, to a live audience of screaming brats right about the time school was out. The afternoon TV menu was that, soaps or some tedious talk show. Black and white tube sets with rounded picture tubes, crappy reception with rabbit ears. Yes, there was Walter Cronkite and Gunsmoke but there was also Dialing for Dollars, Big Time Wrestling, Queen for a Day. 'Twas ever thus...I'll stick with my 93" big screen, Great Performances on PBS in HD and the Sopranos, thank you very much.
and of course along with Cronkite and Gunsmoke there was Peter Gunn!
See the link below, this does what you want. It is the best and worse audio product I have had. It works great, but kills your dynamic range...for TV though, it does the job and gets rid of those annoying volume spikes.Please go to this link and order it from parts Express ( that way the asylum gets credit)

A THANK YOU to Dawnrazer
Some receivers offer this as an option (dynamic compression).You could easily do this using a PC. For instance, the Creative X-Fi cards offer this as an option out of the box.
You might also research an in-expensive compressor from Guitar Center or other music shop.
