XM Radio Lower Volume?

Just curious if you guys experience the same thing as me. It seems like when I have FM radio on and then switch to XM it's significantly lower in volume. I actually thought it would be the opposite since the XM is such better quality. The XM is suppose to be about CD quality, right? Do you guys have the same issue?

Yes, you are correct. Don't know why.

XM is a higher quality sound just like HD Channel's which are lower in volume, as you describe, than the same digital channel. Same can be said with FM vs. XM, the sound quality is better. Also probably has to do with the way the stations are received. Nothing wrong with your receiver etc..
