Audio Level of a Wii Way too high?

Nowhere is this more annoying than when your 5 year old dicovers the mithril disco phial in Lego LOTR.

I've noticed this too. Especially the Menu itself, it's just ear-splittingly loud. But with certain 'channels' the volume ends up even lower than you expect. Especially the Netflix app. If I'm using that, I have to turn the receiver down when I turn on the Wii, and then turn it back up, higher than it was originally, once I launch the Netflix app.
I wish I could justify going Xbox Gold just for the Netflix app...but I'm cheap.

someone needs to just make "automatic level adjustment" mandatory on any equipment. in this day and age of computers there is no reason for this.

I wish Microsoft would just do simple on-line stuff like skype, netflix, internet explorer, etc for free and just charge to play GAMES on-line. I'm not using their server, why should i pay to access the internet? Having to pay for an account to access services easily available on my PC is redonkulous. what's the point of requiring to set up a xbox live "free" account if there is no point to it cause you can't do anything anyway. To track you that's why.
case in point: The trophy wife went to play a DVD last week in the 360... gotta update the xbox... then do a bunch of security ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- up the wazoo for the live account... which didn't work properly and i had to go on-line to fix it. Tried to send about 6 verification e-mails back and forth from the primary to the secondary e-mails and back and forth and still didn't work. MS was just going back and forth asking to verify over and over and over again. Finally had to set up a cell phone number to send a text message to verify! just to get the damn thing going to play a DVD! For what? in case some --cream-filled twinkie-- tries to steal my account? if this thing would just work when i turned it on and i didn't have to keep the damn thing attached to the internet so it can ask microsoft I can play with it today, people wouldn't need to steal accounts.
you have enough money Billy, how about you give something away free for once.

That's why hooking up the PC directly to the main TV was the best decision. Totally avoid those BS license restrictions some shows on Hulu+ have (e.g. The Simpsons - you can only watch on the PC, not 360/PS3/etc.) but all the services are directly through the browser so there's little stoppage for mandatory updates, Sony/Microsoft server problems, etc.
