I have a new LG 37LG30 w/auto volume control for the loud commercials and I have it in the on position.
But for some reason it does not work on alot of commercials.
Could it be becuase of the cable provider I have can overide this feature??

Hello, Sorry this isn't really a solution but when I went into Future Shop to inquire about purchasing a large Plasma TV with this "auto volume" feature I was told that this is not what it does. I thought what you did, that it controlled the annoyingly loud commercials. I was informed that it regulates volume between stations. So when you change channels, the volume stays consistant. I don't know why this is considered a feature when it's not really a problem. Please tell me if I was misinformed, but this would explain why the feature is not quietening the commercials.

maybe just poor speakers.....had a similar problem with an old sony. Replaced the speakers twice and always had a noticeable buzzing. Try running external speakers (computer speakers will work) at low volume to see if you hear it in those. If so, you may have sound board issue.
Hello Blindrid,
What I would suggest you do is Press your MENU button on the tv remote, Then down to SOUND and then Turn the AUTO VOLUME to OFF. Then come out of the menu screen.
Just to check that it has all work correctly. turn you volume upto a certain number for example 25
Then turn your TV off the turn it back on. Wait until it is displaying a picture then press the volume button Once either up or down and you should see that it will go to 24 or 26 depending on what button you pressed for the volume. This will keep your volume set to whatever you had it on before you turned the tv off.
Try restoring to factory settings for everything(I believe there is an option there in one of the options menus). Double check to then see if it's set to set by program.
If that fails to work you may be having a bad main board issue if it is the TV. Make sure it isn't your cablebox being stupid, though.
This may not be a problem. I believe there is an audio effect used by video production houses to 'boost' the presence of an ads audio and this effect is not picked up by the electronic device's (in this case TV) volume stabilizing software. It is intentional by the makers of the ads.
A work-around could be to try different configurations on your TV's audio settings, such as just mono, or just 2channel stereo, or surround sound - on or off, increasing/decreasing bass and treble levels in different combinations.
The down-side to this is to get a comfortable, uniform level of volume across the board, you maybe sacrificing some sound quality - but, as with our eyes, our ears adjust well quickly (hence don't listen to too loud sounds) and what you may not like now, will sound ok tomorrow.
I can't tell if there is a fault or not, but this may help if you "trial" some options.
I HAVE THE VOLUME PROGRAMMED FOR AUTO. WHEN CERTAIN
COMMERCIALS COME ON THE VOLUME INCREASES DRASTICALLY.
WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE TO MINIMIZE THIS PROBLEM
Yep, me too... and it's really annoying!
