I am currently using SMPlayer as my main media player. I put this command:
lavfi=[dynaudnorm=p=0.9:m=15:s=9:g=3]

under audio filter settings in mpv under advanced. The sound is AMAZING. I can clearly hear dialogue, music and sound effects when the TV volume is 7 and that's a low volume.

If I play the same movie in MPC-HC on volume 7 on my TV then I can't hear anything and I have to raise the tv volume to like 15 so i can hear the dialogue. The audio normalization in MPC-HC is horrible and I am not getting the same results like SMPlayer with that lavfi=[] command.

I am testing MPC-BE. I went to sound processing and I ticked FFmpeg filters. After that I selected "for audio with whisper and explosion parts" and I got 0|0:1|1:-90/-900|-70/-70|-30/-9|0/-3:6:0:0:0 under compand. I tested the movie and the audio is louder then playing the same movie in MPC-HC.

I want to ask:

1) Is it possible to put [dynaudnorm=p=0.9:m=15:s=9:g=3] in MPC-BE under compand or somewhere else?

2) Does 0|0:1|1:-90/-900|-70/-70|-30/-9|0/-3:6:0:0:0 do the same thing as [dynaudnorm=p=0.9:m=15:s=9:g=3]?

Enable the mixer in LAV Audio Decoder. Set it to stereo with center mix level 1.0. That should practically double dialogue volume.

I am not using LAV Audio Decoder. https://i.imgur.com/ThOhFRY.jpeg are my sound processing settings in MPC-BE. I did the following:
1) selected the preset "for audio with whisper and explosion parts" and I modified what I got under compand.
2) set center level to +10db
3) put +5db gain in volume control

Are that ok? It's much better than MPC-HC but it's not as wow as the dynaudnorm of SmPlayer but it's acceptable.

Please answer my question. Is it possible to use dynaudnorm in MPC-BE?

Seems it supports compand only.

No. Only one "compand" filter is supported.

2) Does 0|0:1|1:-90/-900|-70/-70|-30/-9|0/-3:6:0:0:0 do the same thing as [dynaudnorm=p=0.9:m=15:s=9:g=3]?
No. These are different FFmpeg filters.
