Same! Missus is the noise police here - anything over 12 and I’m in trouble!My woofer is on - 6. I actually think if I had it any higher it could finish the old dear next door off

Well after watching stranger things season 4 myself tonight, I can confirm that it's the best this bar has ever sounded! I mean seriously I felt like I was actually there with the characters. Phenomenal. Just goes to show that with the right content this bar can sound great! (I tried both Nov 2 firmware and current firmware and I can say in my experience the Nov 2 firmware had much better atmos effects but the overall soundstage seemed less cinematic like the bass response was still there but something about the sound didn't seem as punchy and grand as on the current firmware. When going back to current firmware even the wife said it seemed more punchy and the directional effects more blended in with the rest of the scene if that makes sense. But atmos on Nov 2 was a whole lot better. Again I'll be testing more of this over the weekend. Tha ks everyone for your help. I'm enjoying this bar nowHello guys,
After so many messages about ATMOS performance etc. (sent also by me) I would like to share you with my latest discovery about the sound experience.
Many people wrote here, also I that ATMOS is not so good, the sound is "compressed", the surround effect is weak and so on. Movies in other sound formats are great, but ATMOS is disappointing.
But yesterday I've started to watch Stranger Things Season 4 on Netflix and I was amazed how it sounded! The sound was pretty good, clear, strong with good surround effects, completely different to what I've been listening before. It seems that somehow this show is well processed by the soundbar.
Then I downloaded for instance latest Fantastic Beasts with ATMOS and again, the sound comapred to ST was again poor, there was a huge difference.
What it means for me? That the device is not so bad, it can produce decent sound, but it is dependent on the source.
If I go above 10 i start to get the look from the Mrs 12 is probably as high as I can go before I get the nudge to turn it down lol I wonder if its if you've done ai calibration or not? I don't use it as I don't see any point there's no difference to me to how it sounds. But I did notice when I used ai cal I had to crank the volume a bit more. Either that or maybe it's a PC thing?How are you guys settling for anything below 20? I had to crank my mate's bar up to 26 or 28 for any decent volume on standard (non atmos) mode. Played off connecting from a PC running Windows 10 connected directly to the soundbar.
Same I run HD broadcast TV about 8, 9 or 10 depending. Atmos around 7, occasionally 8. Other dts/dolby 8,9 or 10 depending. Sounds plenty loud enough with streaming or disc based content.Don't know about others but I only watch BluRay and 4K BluRay discs....
No streaming /gaming or the like and absolutely NO issues with volume levels!
When I do watch broadcast TV 10 -12 vol is good.
Cheers
Have tried ai calibration the last time but have since reset it and left it on default. Those volumes were played off Youtube videos and Spotify; still had to settle for some 18 - 20 ish volume if they are on Movie mode or watching any films on Netflix.If I go above 10 i start to get the look from the Mrs 12 is probably as high as I can go before I get the nudge to turn it down lol I wonder if its if you've done ai calibration or not?

Ooooooh exciting! (In toy story aliens voice) any improvements so far? Or anything broken? Never know with lgFull set of new software just installed as I just switched on…
I must admit using YouTube I need to raise volume quite a bit in some cases but I put that down to certain content creators having seriously bad audio mixes tbh. But movies and TV shows I rarely go above 12. But hey whatever sounds great is personal preference at the end of the day, just glad people are enjoying this bar now. Hope this recent firmware doesn't ruin that and only improves itHave tried ai calibration the last time but have since reset it and left it on default.

This is not new but merely the update most of us have had for months.Full set of new software just installed as I just switched on…
Hi everyone,
I had the firmware update back in November that bricked my subwoofer. LG finally had the PCB (part EBR89625801) back in stock so I coughed up the $88 w/ tax and shipping.
It was very easy to swap the boards, just a series of screws and 3 connectors to the PCB itself.
However I am getting no power (no little green light on the back). My old PCB board would at least power up, but it wouldn’t connect. So… I guess I’m in worse shape now as I can’t even get a little green light and I’m short another $88 on top of the $1,400 I wasted on this junk.
Of course when I called LG a few months ago they said tough luck. Go to technician.
Is there anything special I need to know about installing the PCB? Has anyone else had any luck ordering this part and replacing it?
Please let me know if you have, thank you.
Funny how the roll out occurs over several weeks/monthsThis is not new but merely the update most of us have had for months.
Yeah it's bizarre.Funny how the roll out occurs over several weeks/months
1. Make sure you have DRC - OFF

6. OVR + 3
Movie mode - for Movies
Music mode - for Music
Soundbar usually come alive at volume >= 14 for day time in my room.
The best sound mode without doubt is AI sound pro especially for movies and tv. I’ve tested all the modes and this the best it gives the most equal sound and the best voice clarity.Apologies for responding to an old post.
I'm new to an LG SN11, and am trying to maximise its sound potential. I've downloaded/installed the LG app & the Google app, and I've had a tentative fiddle with the various sound modes.
But what's best? My Googling has lead me to discover that (apparently) the only way to use the highly regarded Meridian Sound technology , is by using "Standard" sound effect?
If that's the case, what's the point in "Movie" , "Music" "Bass Boost", "AI Sound Pro" ?
Apologies once again for the questions. I just want to fully appreciate my SN11 & all it can provide me with.
Thank you
