I do as well. Just watched Eastern Promises for the umpteenth time and had to have the volume almost maxed out for dialogue, then down to 50% for music. I'd say at least half the DVDs I watch or rent are like this. Seems the older DVDs aren't so bad about it; I just watched Joanna, Modesty Blaise, Island of Doomed Men and none had that volume issue.

Hmm. A hypothesis may have been born.
