Playing flac files

[jd1940]

I realize this is not a NPVR problem but I'm wondering if any other users are playing flac files through NPVR? I'm using the unlocked SAF6 codec and I can hear the flac files but their volume level is extremely low, so I have to really crank up the receiver I use for audio. I can do that easily enough but I'm just wondering if there is a way to balance the volume level of flac files a little closer to that of other files. My receiver volume level doesn't show on my TV so it's a guessing game to get close to the various levels. I've done enough Googling on the subject to know others have this problem, I just haven't run across a solution.

I play flac from the computer analog out to the TV or computer speakers. I haven't noticed a significant difference in volume. That said, there is a noticeable, but not excessive, difference in volume between recordings, music playback, and especially web radio. Requires some adjustment of volume, but not drastic. I use the flac decoder from xiph.org. which also includes decoders for several other open source formats.
