FLACS playing at a much lower volume if I copy them on another drive???

[davidrf]

Hi there, 

 I really don't know what to say, but I if move certain FLACS from my C: drive (SSD) to my backup drive (Seagate HD), they play at a MUCH lower volume, and maybe even lower quality. I tried multiple times, it does that even with FLACs I encode myself. WTH is that? I'm really mind-gobbled.

 

The player is Music Bee and I have a Topping DX3+ Pro.

 

thanks

That's literally impossible, something else must be going on.

If the files work fine when you move them back (after they've been on the other drive) that would eliminate corruption of the files as a potential reason.

I "solved" by unchecking the box "normalise volume of tracks with replay gain tags", that for some reason I had left checked. Still, it's very very hard to understand why if I play the files from C: that option is ignored anyways, like from there the player can't read the gain tags. Don't know what to say.
