Were there any streaming services that played ads at a louder level than the content...?

All of them? It's gotten so bad that I remapped the Netflix button on the Shield remote to mute the receiver. The remote has volume up/down buttons, but no mute, and ads are _so_ loud now.

Hitting vol up and down at the same time on the shield remote will mute. i thought shield also had a way reduce dynamic range in the audio stream to make this a non issue for those that don’t their audio channels being touched.

At least on the roku apps most of them do for me. I might be willing to believe that it's just them unintentionally misconfiguring it or something; I'm sure roku isn't the primary focus for any of them, but either way, they need to fix it.

It's for sure an intentional issue considering how long its been there without getting fixed.
So obnoxious as well, it isn't somewhat louder, it's aggressively louder.
