Compression usually brings the quiet sound up in volume and can seem like the loud parts "duck." Disable all loudness, compression, dynamic range in your hardware. I recently watched a movie on cable-on-demand that had such aggressive ducking I had to stop watching. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducking | |

You may want to check out What is Frequency Response?. The likely reason they go quiet is they are not capable of the frequency response required by the music being played. | |
