Just set up my 340's: volume concern

Ironically, the commercials are now quieter than the shows.

That's a "feature" that I'd pay extra for.

Is it unusual to not like the way dolby digital sounds? It seems a bit, muffled.

Lots of variables if you're referring to a broadcast signal. I've had some issues with DD from PBS. I'm guessing it's the sound engineering, not the DD itself.

Yes I would recommend tilting your center so the tweeter is smacking you in the face. I have cut the thicker mouse pads into strips to tilt the speaker.
DD has always been a few db's lower the pro logic.
HD TV audio is a mess and will be until everything is broadcast in the same format.

DD on TV is like DD on DVDs, you have to turn it up because the dialog is low but there is more dynamic range because of it - I usually watch (Lost, Heroes, 24, etc.) at about -15 to -10. Same with the music concert shows on PBS and INHD.
