Hi, thanks for all your answers and sharing your experiences. That's very valuable. Now I know the english speaking users don't experience this.
I wished it was so simple. But unfortunately it's not connected to Ducking. I know the ducking function and I think it's a good idea of Apples. The issue I discribed is a real swaying of loudness that sometimes takes 10 seconds to take place. I suspect the german voices of nuance that don't work properly together with VO. But thanks again and all the best Jürgen Am 27.04.2014 um 18:31 schrieb Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com>: > Hi, > > It sounds like Audio Ducking is enabled.
