I have watched about 2 or 3 dvd's on my PS2 and i've noticed that the sound isn't as loud as it should be........ i just use the the regualr a/v cables that come with yopur PS2 and hooked it up to my T.V. like that and when i watch a dvd i crank the volume on the tv all the way up and it's still not as loud as it should be, but when i play games the sound is just normal like watching tv, it's just when i play dvd's it seems to get quiet for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this? or why it does this or anything?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! thanks

The PS2 shouldn't be affected by its internal surround settings if you're using the analog output. All sound should be automatically downmixed to two-channnel.

I had a similar problem. You can raise the PS2's output level. Play a DVD and push select to bring up the on-screen options. Go to the Audio Setup menu. Somewhere (I don't remember exactly where) you will find an output volume option. You can set it to normal, +1, or +2. I usually left mine at +2, except when unusually loud DVD would cause clipping problems (this was rare).

Give it a try! :)
