Movie Music has a LOUD PROBLEM! So I fixed that! (Automatic Volume Adjuster)

There are just some movies I have to watch with the remote in my hand. Babysitting the volume is a nuisance, and while were at it what about commercials where the volume is at a 11…I’m particularly looking at you @HULU. So glad someone has come up with a hack for this.

From GreatScott! on YouTube:

In this project I will solve one of the biggest problems I have with modern movies. The problem is that the conversation volume is way too low in comparison to the music volume. That is why I combined an Arduino microcontroller with a microphone and an IR LED in order to create an automatic volume adjuster. It basically detects when loud movie music starts playing, lowers the volume and then brings the volume back up when the music is over. Let’s get started!
