Big difference in soundlevel between TV and TuneIn Radio

My Samsung TV is connected to the Optical Input 1 of my Powernode N330 via a Toslink cable.
When I switch on the TV the sound from the TV is quite soft so I set the sound from the TV with the Bluesound RC1 remote control to a normal sound level.
If I then switch off the TV and choose a preset TuneIn Radio channel on the Bluesound RC1 remote control, the sound comes out quite loud from the speakers, so clearly louder than from the TV.
Can this be set separately for both levels in the Bluesound app?
If not, will it help if I connect the TV to the Bluesound Powernode N330 with an HDMI cable (HDMI-ARC)?
Will the sound difference be better?

  As your POWERNODE is DOLBY Certified and supports Dolby Digital you will notice a 6 to 12 DB volume drop when playing DOLBY content. This is due to the larger ranges of volume changes in DOLBY content as DOLBY audio is mixed on average 6 to 12 DB quieter than other non-Dolby content.

  This is not unexpected...
