I'm sure we have discussed this before, but my Samsung, but this is not just them, is extremely on radio stations compared to the audio from tv. Also
loud is the Alexa played stations and the start and shut down sounds of the set.

This makes balancing up the levels of different inputs to my stereo very >difficult indeed. One might have thought that it was not beyond the
designs of the system to at least specify the audio mean levels to be more
in the same range. At least 6 to 12 DB difference tends to be the norm.

I have a Panasonic Blu Ray player, Roku Box and Freesat plugged into (and switched by) my Yamaha amp. Not only does volume differ between each
device but also between different formats on the same device - e.g. live programmes at one level then a recorded programme at another.

A lot of words seem to have fallen down the the back of your sofa, but guessing what they were, I think this is really about dynamic range. Radio tends to be use for talking (disembodied) heads and pop music, both or
which have intrinsically low dynamic ranges. It it also often used in
cars, where there is not much headroom between being loud enough to be
heard above the engine and road noise, and so loud that it is dangerous to hearing, and also upsets your situational awareness of external noises.
It is a more likely to be listened to on head phones, where large
transients are disturbing to people nearby and dangerous to hearing.
TV is much likely to be used for drama, in which wide variations in level
are normal. Radio is also used for classical music, which does have a
large dynamic range, but maybe this is considered a minority use.
As a result, radio is probably operated with more compression and less available headroom. Even though some of these issues only apply to DAB
and FM, the same basic feed is probably provided for all of them.
I can only assume then that over the world there isa difference. I was >looking at the on line channels on the Samsung, and some of the music based >TV ones are also very variable. but there seems to be far more variation
than on film and drama channels.
I am loathe to suggest gain riding but I would suspect that some broadcasters are already using it and you can hear it pumping.
