It should not be hard to write an app for a PC that would monitor the output to the built-in speaker and to the output audio jack over some short period of time, say a half-second to a few seconds, and adjust the volume such that, to a listener, it is about constant. Also, I am suprised that automatic volume control is not a standard feature on TV sets and radios and home theater audio systems. Even better would be if the TV and radio stations and/or the cable TV and satellite TV and XM Radio companies offered a feature that would adjust the volume for all channels to be even *at their end*. With *digital* TV and radio from satelite services and from some cable companies, there is no *technical* excuse for having average volume different. Yet, when I switch stations, the volume usually gets significantly louder or lower. Of course, while watching a given station, commercials usually get louder.
