Abstract

See full text

Volume levels of content being presented via a device can be controlled. The device can receive or stream video or audio content. An audio manager component (AMC) can process the content to control the volume level of the content as it is presented on a presentation component based on a set point and/or upper and/or lower threshold volume levels. The set point can be set by a user. The AMC can map a high volume audio signal or a low volume audio signal to a defined volume range around the set point based on the upper and/or lower threshold volume levels. The AMC can analyze respective audio signals of the content, interpolate and determine respective adjusted volume levels of the respective audio signals, and adjust the respective volume levels to the respective adjusted volume levels based on the analysis results and the mapping.
