Handling unstable signals by waiting instead of reacting — has this been studied?

It’s microphone‑only loudness tracking with deterministic IR volume control. No audio pipeline access, no compression, no HDMI‑ARC or CEC. Everything runs offline.

I’m posting technical details, not trying to spam. If it’s not useful to you, feel free to skip it.

TVs don’t react to volume commands consistently, so keeping the level steady is harder than just spotting loud moments.

Has anyone seen a tool that detects loud TV commercials from audio and automatically sends IR volume commands? Wondering if this idea has been discussed here before.

If you have time to look through all those previous threads, you might also find it useful to take a quick look at the project itself — the current version has changed quite a bit. Happy to clarify anything if needed.

Has anyone heard about that app that can recognize loud ads on TV and instantly mute them? I’m curious if this is something people here already know.

Behaviour-based reactions are the core. No content analysis — just instant response to sudden changes.

Ads, trailers, jingles – they all have one thing in common: instant volume spikes. Our app detects them by measuring sudden changes, quickly confirming spikes, reacting immediately, avoiding false alarms, and stabilizing the signal without delay. Detecting volume spikes is one of its greatest advantages.

Anyone else irritated by TV commercials suddenly becoming much louder than the show itself?

We've created a little tool that keeps everything at a normal volume so you can watch in peace.

It works automatically—no remote needed.
