So I have been playing through some more Twilight Princess and the one thing I have noticed is that the audio normalisation is absolutely abhorrent, even moreso than some of the other games out there *cough*Skyrim*cough*
I can't seem to find many topic issues on Google, which leads me to believe this is just my own problem but I am pretty sure this is just the game itself.
For example:
I spend lots of time adjusting the volume in dolphin to get the sounds that link makes to be consistent with all of my other games. All is fine, Link is happily shouting at decent audio levels. Then I enter Hyrule Field...
DUN DUN DUN DUNNN!!!! DUN DUN DUN DUUNNN!!!!
... I may need new ear drums...
I was about to start ripping audio files and editing them manually, but before I do this is there any solution I can implement? There is much more than the Hyrule Field theme, this is just the most obnoxious offender I have found.
Further Offenders include:

Further Offenders include:
- Boss Themes. I have loaded a save in Lake Hyrule, just before the boss. Oh god was that painful to listen to...
- Standard Fighting Tracks. Can't even hear the enemies making most of their noises over this track...
- The "pick a save" screen. Dat fairy fountain music...
- I remember from my last complete runthrough (I just had low volume and link was super-mute) I remember the shop that runt kid opens (the kakariko one is fine, I believe) is also very obnoxious with its backing track.
- Many More.
