The speakers are set to 100% on the Realtek Audio mixer. Is there some
way of arranging for R3 FM and R3 Flac to have the same volume ?.

Afraid not. The R3 iplayer streams and the test flac stream have no
automated level-compression applied. But R3 FM does. So in general, they
will differ. All you can do is tweak levels to get what seems like a
comfortable level for each. It may change with the programme material.


The weak-link at the moment seems to be the need for firefox 51+ on a
desktop so any solution using a tablet seems to be out of the question
(for now).

I'm using a version of ffmpeg to capture the steams as files. However
setting this up is a real PITA unless you are computer geek. I have been
told that Chrome works. But I have no idea about that or what other
browsers, etc, might for the flac test. Sadly we now only have a couple of
weeks before the flac test will end. :-/

Use the BBC feedback pages to let them know you think the flac stream is
excellent and "ask for more"! :-)

I've had confirmation from people I know at the BBC that they *will* be
streaming this year's proms as flac. :-) I asked about this and got the
reply below

Yes, it is correct. There is a longer statement from Alan Davey he
