Volume leveling issue with Qobuz albums on Roon 2.71 (ref#371L1G)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· Volume levelling on Qobuz albums stopped working. It always defaults to -14dB (target for me is -23dB). I'm on Roon 2.71.

Tell us about your home network

· Orbi router, no VPN... I don't think this matters much in this case

Perhaps I was just unlucky. I played several classical albums in a row that used the default value. Now I played a rock album that did have volume levelling. It’s apparently a bit hit and miss…

Still, I’m not sure this should be happening as Qobuz does have replaygain data for the album I was playing

This is a rabbit hole :slight_smile:

When I use track levelling, it works correctly for this Led Zeppelin album. Qobuz data:

But when I pick album levelling, It just seams to pick the gain for the loudest track, -8.1dB in this case. Calculated with the formula album_gain = -10·log10( Σ length·10^(-gain/10) / Σ length ) the album gain should be -5.9dB (but could be of by some tenths of a dB of a gated value).

Hi @Alex_Lubberts, thanks for laying out the examples and the screenshots.

We have a related ticket in this area, and we will add your findings to the investigation. Your notes about the difference between track leveling and album leveling, along with the Qobuz replaygain data, are helpful here.

Thanks again for digging into it so carefully, and we’ll follow up should any further questions come up during the investigation.
