Post 2024.31.01 Dynamic Sound Adjustment

[ja_kub_sz]

Has anyone had deafening volume fluctuations when their Dynamic Sound Adjustment (DSA) is on?

I noticed while listening to Tidal that certain albums are almost deafening even at a volume setting of 3, and when I turn the DSA off I can now listen at reasonable volume setting of about 9 to 11 otherwise volume of 3 is rattling my speakers and door panels.

Example Artist: Tender, Album Flux
Opening track at volume 3 is shaking my entire truck. Turn off DSA and now I can listen at 9.

Also post update the overall difference in sound volume on select tracks and albums on Tidal is very very noticeable, and sadly unbalanced. Certain albums you have to listen to at nearly four to five points sound adjustment difference up or down in order to have a normal volume.

Didn't know if Rivian could do a sound volume output equalization feature. I'm not yet annoyed by the vast difference in volume of music on Tidal yet, but I know I will eventually.

Rivian... Get a native Bandcamp player please!

I don’t use Tidal but others have described the same issue in general since the August update. I believe turning off the dynamic sound fixed it temporarily, but I don’t recall for sure. I think another update will be needed for the permanent fix.

Yes I leave both 3D and Dynamic Sound off.

Appreciate the concessus.

Same here for all sources.

The dynamic sound adjustment is just speed -sensitive volume adjustment or is it more than that?

Definitely a glitch with the last software update about a month ago. Have had the dynamic adjustment (for speed) turned off since then. Not fixed with latest update last week.

In Apple Music, this seems to be tied to Atmos—tracks in Spatial Audio come through at more normal volume, whereas non-Spatial tracks are super loud if dynamic volume is on. That gives me hope that this is a product of the newly-added Atmos growing pains and will be cured s00n.

Even with Dynamic Sound off my sound levels are crazy high. I exclusively listen to my phone on bluetooth, and I went from an average sound setting of 10 to a setting of 2. Setting it to 3 makes it so I can't have a comfortable conversation in the vehicle.

For context I have an R1T with the Meridian system.

Confirmed, it's an issue and turned it off now. I wish they would increase number of setting levels (make it variable) rather than just two.

Turned off dynamic sound adjustment and it’s much better for me. No problems with my R1T, Apple Music sounds amazing! But in my wife’s R1s, we can’t even hold a conversation at volume 2

I am finding that my dynamic sound adjustment not working. Volume remains the same regardless of my speed. I really would like this to work as I am constantly turning down the volume at slower speeds then ranking it back up at faster speeds. Very frustrating for stop and go traffic. I am driving Gen 2 with 2024.35.0. Anyone else experience this and have a fix?

Gen1, this still isn't fixed. Wish I knew how to submit a request to the development team. My Grand Cherokee volume went up and down smoothly and appropriately with vehicle speed without sacrificing low end adjustability like my R1 does.
