A way to normalize volume system wide, including with browser tabs? Win 10

[bruucee]

A lot of the forums have embeded videos from Instagram, twitter and or TikTok. And when I click to play. The volume is super loud. Does windows 10 have a way to balance volume across apps on a computer? Or would I need extensions for the browser I am using firefox btw.

By changing the system audio level, this affects all applications. The little speaker symbol in your task bar.

open mixer and turn down browser volume

By changing the volume for the open web browser in Windows Volume Mixer. If more then a few apps open, extend the Mixer window outward so you can see all open apps that have available Volumes.

Leave Speakers/Headphones (whatever is the main volume output) on 100% then adjust app or game volumes via the Mixer as needed.

Just know that if you lower a volume for a browser; this lowers its max volume overall. So if you later go to use lets say YouTube or a show/movie streaming website within same browser; if too quiet when using the volume embedded into the show/movie page; then raise the on in Windows Mixer.

It seems like embedded videos from social media sites. By default have the volume maxed. I wanted to have the volume across the social media embedded videos at 50%. So I don't blow my ear drums out.

no real fix, other than use browser volume in mixer, and turn it up when you need

ad sites max volume so you need to pay attention to turn it off or down

I think your best bet is to just lower the overall volume for browser by using the volume icon in your system tray. Play a sound in your browser and then click the volume icon and see the Mixer thing and you can adjust volume for each application so leaving everything else at what it is now while lowering your overall browser volume should do a decent job.

I'm not sure yet if it remembers that setting after application close/reboot but I'm assuming it does.

some sound card have a normalize function, to see them go to your audio playback and check the "audio enhancements" tab in your speaker config and see if there is a normalize or loudness equalization function you can enable. In SBX studio, it is called "smart volume" and you can set the dynamic range from low / medium / high, some are called "night time mode" (simply a toggle for dynamic range between "off" and "high")

Will not compensate for the audio recording itself (where the hardware will record with high or low volume) but will be the best you can do for playback.
