Item #173. Volume for individual track video signals --
Over the past 45 minutes or so I've been playing BEL-BTP-GPX-PIM via ADW:
- The volume for Belmont track video is pre-set (not by me but I'm guessing either by the track or by somebody at Roberts) to "barely hear it."
- The volume for Belterra and Pimlico video are pre-set (again not by me) to "about normal."
- The volume for Gulfstream video is pre-set (again not by me) to "BLAST O' MATIC."
Meaning that:
- If I watch a race at Belmont I have to turn the volume way up in order to hear Larry Collmus.
- If I then switch over to Gulfstream I have to turn the volume way down... otherwise: "BLAST O' MATIC."
Is there any reason not to have somebody (maybe at Roberts) set all track video signals (on a regular basis) to the same damn volume?
Seriously, this has been going on for years, and I for one find it annoying as hell.

As someone who runs an night shift at an OTB in California, I can tell you that this sound issue has driven me nuts over the years. Same thing for us. At first I thought it was just the facility I worked at but after working at 4 different ones it is the same. For the night signal, Los Al, Cal Expo, Running Aces are all very difficult to hear. Australia is the blast o matic. Same with Meadowlands, very loud. Pocono Downs is loud. I have always wondered why this is and it must just be Roberts that is having the issue. As someone else mentioned this is such an easy fix. I have called Roberts in the past about this but got the feeling I was talking with someone who had no way of correcting the issue.
