I rip my discs then open flac files with audacity, but rears are always at different volume levels. Has this ever happened to anyone?
With many/most 5.1 mixes the rears are much lower level than the fronts. I think that most posters here prefer the old Quad style mixes, with equal levels from all channels. Steve Wilson 5.1 mixes are usually very immersive much like the old Quad mixes. Sometimes bringing up the rear levels a few dB will improve the sound.I rip my discs then open flac files with audacity, but rears are always at different volume levels.

Yes, agreed, but that isn't something that can be done within DVDA-E. Most will either accomplish that boost on the fly as they play or with something like Audacity which makes the boost permanent.With many/most 5.1 mixes the rears are much lower level than the fronts.

I don't see any options to adjust levels on a per-channel basis during extraction in DVDAE. There is only an overall normalization option.
I have ripped many 4.0 discs using DVD Audio Extractor as WAV files, with no change in rear channel levels, compared to playing the disc. This applies to both DVD-Audio and Blu-Ray discs.
Same here. DVDAE makes a copy of the original.
Rear channel levels are often mixed lower. Giving these a boost often benefits the listening experience, increasing the perceived surround effect.
The Who Quadraphenia Blu Ray.If the OP would give us an example of a disc displaying this ripped behavior in with DVDAE, we could verify easily

Opeth In Cauda Blu
Nightwish Once
I open the flac files and one of the rears is lower than the other. Happens even when music is same on both files. I know some info in rears can be at different levels depending on mixing choices; I do not mean that. I mean when the files are supposed to be the same.

Yes normalization will usually increase the sound level. Usually I just leave the box unchecked. If you selected DTS it would have extracted the DTS.Getting back to the "Normalization" portion of the Step 3 of 4 window, is it possible that an adjustment of this function could have an effect on the resulting sound levels delivered by the FLAC files?
