Commercials on Roku

I’m so sick of these commercials blaring when you watch anything on Roku. Why can’t they fix them?

    You can enable sound leveling on Roku, nice feature.  We still notice commercials are slightly louder though. Not sure about below.  I see on or off only. https://support.roku.com/article/226802507

    Enable volume leveling on a Roku TV

    1. Start playing a show or movie
    2. Press  Star * on your Roku remote
    3. Navigate to Sound Settings > Sound Mode
    4. Select Customize sound mode
    5. Scroll down to Volume Leveling and choose from Low, Medium, or High. Low allows volume to go up and down between shows, commercials, and apps. High keeps the volume more even so nothing sounds too loud or too quiet.

    Unfortunately it's the ad content creators/producers that determine the audio level, not a Roku problem, making it difficult to go after them all. My Vizio TV has audio leveling which brings lower and higher volume levels closer together. Once turned on, I simply turn down the overall volume. It's not a perfect solution, but it helps.
