VLC version: OVER 9000!!!
Operating System: It's...blue screen
Location: Heaven? No no. What's that other place that starts with an "H"? Oh yes: Home. ^_^

Hmm.... Try turning off the Normalizer setting if it was turned on: Preferences > (tad) Audio > Filters > uncheck the box "volume normalizer".

OK, try evening out the EQ settings if you've changed those. Any more info you can give me?

Shut down the DRC for both DTS and AC3.

Preferences, Input / Codecs, Audio codecs, A/52 "A/52 dynamic range compression" and Preferences, Input / Codecs, Audio codecs, DCA "DTS dynamic range compression" then press Save and restart the player.

The volume normalizer is off by default.
