I am currently using PowerDVD 15 with Win10/pro/64. The latest patches and updates have been applied as of 07/03/21.
I use a 2-channel stereo system for watching movies. PDVD allows you to specify what type of audio system you are using and it digitally adapts the source movie audio to what you specify. For movies in 5.1, I believe PDVD is simply mixing the 5.1 channels together to 2 channels. However, there is no way to control the relative volume of the 5.1 channels when this mixing occurs. With PDVD 15, the center channel volume is way too low in the stereo mix. If I adjust the overall stereo volume to adequately hear the dialog, a subsequent bomb or explosion will blast me out of the room.
What I would like to see is the ability to control the relative volume of the 5.1 channels in the mixing process. Does this capability exist in a newer PDVD version? I have searched for this feature and I don’t see anything. Unfortunately, it’s not an easy topic to research or even ask as a question about.

First off, I cannot even find WaveEditor 2 as a selectable product for support on Cyberlink's support site. What's up with that? So I chose this product to post my problem about WaveEditor 2.
I installed WaveEditor 2 on my clean Win10 build back in the summer of 2016. I have been successfully using it to adjust the volume of MP3 files ever since. It has always worked. Suddenly, it will no longer save MP3 files. The Save Track function shows a progress bar that goes about half way, then the bar disapears. There is no error or any indication of a problem. Except the file simply is not there. I've tried it several times on different MP3 files, same problem. If I save an edited MP3 file to WAV, that works. The version of WaveEditor I have is specifically 2.0.0.5620.
The only things that have changed recently on this PC are (1) I had to upgrade PowerDVD 15 Ultra to build 15.0.4630.62 recently because of a fairly new Blu-Ray disc I tried to watch. This was because the freakin' video industry can't stop putting updated security bombs in their discs for PC users. When is this ever going to end? I'd love to see a lawsuit about this and I'd help fund it. This is not Cyberlink's fault, in fact Cyberlink provided the necessary update to resolve this. (2) Microsoft updated my Win10 to 10.0.16299 just within the last week or so. Oh I do love how Microsoft has made their incesant updating nearly impossible to stop. Stopping the Service doesn't work because they will just start it back up behind your back. Metered connections only seem to apply with WiFi. Assimilate or die!! Sorry, I digress.
So what about this MP3 bug?
