Low volume on ExoPlayer

[asaddon]

Describe the bug
Hello, After the last Android TV app update version 1.6.11, the audio volume on videos playing using ExoPlayer is considerablly lower as compared to when played via libVLC player, before that update it was all okay. Not sure if its just my device or an overall issue.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Play Video using ExoPlayer and monitor audio.
2. Play Video using libVLC player and monitor audio.
3. Compare the two.

Expected behavior
Audio volume should be consistant and loud on both players.

TV (please complete the following information):

• Device: Sony X950H
• OS: Android TV
• Version: 10

On further investigation the issue isn't happening on every file but some and it goes away if I turn off tunnled playback so it's something about that but not every file is affected.

The files which is causing the issue are:

This is not a bug but simply wrong configuration of your hardware. I was having the same issue where libvlc was playing video with louder audio track but after changing my tv configuration there was no difference. Cant advice what exactly you have to change but for sure it is configurable.

Any chance you remember what exactly you changed? It'll help me point in the right direction.
