Yes this is true, but the thing is one wonders does anybody not test their
software for this stupidity before unleashing the sets to an unsuspecting
world?

I even find some of the video standard conversion gizmos you get can work
intermittently depending on the sequence of plugging in or even of mode
selection on the tvs and computers involved.
We do seem to have got ourselves into a bit of a muddle.

Using my Hudl 2 tablet with HDMI, the tablet changes to having only two volume settings (1 and 11) and on the TV I have to set the volume right down before plugging in the tablet.

One would think that line level audio would have a standard ... oh hang on, it did. I wonder why they didn't keep that when moving to digital.

It did. Called the EBU standard. (European Broadcasting Union) Peak level
was meant to be 10 dB below dBFS. To allow for digital getting nasty if
you overmod. It was initially for digital recording (and CDs), but most of
the TV channels still stick to it. In the main. But commercial radio - as
ever - smash everything round the endstop.
