Home theatre system based on decibel output?

    Hi,
    I have a HTPC that i use for movie/tv and music playback.

    I currently have a Philips amp and speakers but its a major pain having to turn up and down the volume depending on the sound in movies (down for action pieces and back up for talking).

    Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a speaker system that you can set to play all sounds at, say, 60 decibels which will adjust itself up and down accordingly?

    Thanks for any info,

    Sounds like you need a compressor/limiter. Not sure where you'd get one for 7.1 digital surround though !

    There are home cinema amps with this feature built in but they may cost a bit.

    Maybe a HTPC would offer this feature in software form ?

    You should provide the make/model of you home cinema system or else check the manual. Often there is a "night" mode or something like that which helps dampen things down a bit so as to not annoy the neighbours or kids when in bed.
