General information
With the AutomaticVolumeAdjustmentfunc-
tion, the volumes of different audio sources are
adjusted for each other, to compensate for rel-
ative differences in volume.

a relatively loud radio station. The volume for
both stations sounds the same. Manual read-
justment of the volume is not required.
The Automatic Volume Adjustment
