  • (2023-10-12) Niels Butter: Fixed my problem with my Jabra Elite headphones muting for no reason in Google Meet. Awesome!!
  • (2023-09-05) Vasu Patel: The functionality of the plugin is working fine but it is taking control of google and manipulating the google results!
  • (2023-08-28) Maxwell Souza (maxjf1): The fact that this extension is needed shows that this gain control isn't a feature, its a bug, chrome should remove this But the extension is great! Sad that i need to authorize on every website i use (would be great to have it enable on all websites by default), but since its not every website that i use Mic it's ok
  • (2023-08-28) Marko Kraljevic: Better avoid it, it prevented me to enter MS Teams call and I was 15 minutes late until I figured out to disable it, it does more harm than good.
  • (2023-08-23) Yevgen Antymyrov: Helps me with Preply.com I wish it was also available for Edge
  • (2023-07-19) D Del Vento: Without this extension, the skype web app is totally unusable. With it, it becomes flawless. Do yourself a favor and install this app. Huge thanks to the developer!!!!!!
  • (2023-07-12) Принёс_MP5_в_Школу: вк помойка санная, расширение топ 💪
  • (2023-07-11) Jen Zarzycka: messages.google.com doesn't have the option of turning off their broken implementation of AGC. Thank you so much for this extension! Works great for me!

  • (2023-04-12) ChristhegeekHD: Finally found a fix for chrome's auto gain control feature (that you can't disable for some reason) which now allows me to use my favorite spectrograph website. Thanks for making this :D!
  • (2023-04-11) Mert Türker: It's working!
  • (2023-03-30) Alejandro Coronel: GRACIAS! me estaba volviendo loco eso de que chrome cambie la sensibilidad de mi micrófono
  • (2023-03-27) Igor Kozarchuk: For some reason it doesn't work if you open another Chrome instance with another account (although this extension is installed on another account too). Or if you open Google Meet in Edge (with this extension enabled there as well).
  • (2023-03-03) Daniel Yeoda: Solve my issue with my bluetooth mic volume which decreased continuously every time I use it on Google Meet
  • (2023-02-25) MouMou (Alkaid): Useful and it just works
  • (2023-02-06) David McAnulty: Works! But if you can't install the extension for some reason, give this a try. type "chrome://flags/" into your Chrome Search for "microphone" On the "Allow WebRTC to adjust the input volume" select the default dropdown and change to disable.
  • (2023-02-03) Sergey Davydov: God bless you!
  • (2023-01-25) Samuel Corbin: When it works, it is fantastic. But if frequently fails to prevent the adjustment.
  • (2023-01-22) Alice Faustus: единственное что помогло
  • (2023-01-06) Solved all of my problems. Now _please_ write a full macOS version so that nothing ever auto adjusts my inputs!
  • (2022-12-29) Jaroslav B: You are the best bro, this is one of the most usefull thinks that i have instaled this is just instant fix. This will resolve the esue for everyone who have unchecked the "aplications have control over microfon" but this is the real fix.

  • (2022-10-18) Vinicius Faria: Esse extensão resolveu a maior dor de cabeça que eu tinha com o microfone ajustando o volume automaticamente. Já troquei de fone várias vezes achando que o problema era o dispositivo, mas no fim das contas era o google meet. Muito obrigado pela solução!!!
  • (2022-10-11) Jacktus Trends: Because of this extensions there is some disturbance on the call. I work as customer support representative, Their voice and my voice keep breaking up. Once i disable for a while. It fixes the issue. But it works so well "microphone levels auto adjusting". I wish it wasn't cause the disturbance.

  • (2022-08-11) José Vinícius: Solved my problem!
  • (2022-07-13) ImDaGawd: selfless work from hero's like you literally shouldn't be given out for free i commend you for doing what google cant be asked to allow us to do easily
  • (2022-07-05) Brett Randall: Fixes MacOS auto mic gain control bugs like-a-boss!
  • (2022-06-08) Ash: I realize this is just for Google Meets - is there anyway you have another plugin that might work for other third party softwares like this? My call center uses ServiceTitan and it keeps changing my gain :( this plugin doesn't seem to work for it
  • (2022-06-02) Jeroen Boersma: We have bought good microphones with which should filter surrounding sounds and still ran into the problem of hearing everyone in Chrome based browsers, finally found this extension which is a clear lifesaver, thanks!
  • (2022-03-17) Franz Ardito: Worked flawlessly until today: I was asked to provide permissions, allowed mic, but the extension doesn't turn on anymore. Hopefully it can be fixed.
  • (2022-03-16) Tiago Xavi: For some reason its stopped to work in google meet for me

  • (2022-02-23) Холод 'ОК: Чудесно, просто прекрасно теперь, дурацкий VK больше не меняет громкость вниз верх, 5+ расширению!
  • (2022-02-07) Carlos Guzman Morales: It is great, the only problem is I have to turn it on and give permissions every time i enter a Bigbluebutton conference for university, I think this is because their urls work like this: https://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.blindsidenetworks.com/ where the X spaces always change. If that was fixed it would be perfect.
  • (2022-02-02) Victor M.: Oh my god I love you
  • (2022-01-31) Semin S.: This ist awesome! Very esasy to use and fast installed. Happy to finally dont have gain issues. Thank you
  • (2022-01-24) Maxime C.: Unfortunately it's not working for me for 2 reasons: 1) I'm using Loom extension to record videos/audio on Chrome, and when the Disable Automatic Gain Control is on or off, it doesn't change a thing, I can still see my mic gain change in windows sound settings. 2) I would also need to be able to switch this app on/off for every website at once, and not every time I need to record a new video (in my use case, I record videos on different websites everyday, so it's a little annoying). For now, I will keep using Voicemeter software, which does the job very well, but it has some minor downsides too when managing sound level, which is why I would have love this extension to work. I hope this comment will help to improve the extension, I'll change my rating if it's fixed in the future.
  • (2022-01-15) Jimmy W: This plugin is awesome! Tested it out: Plugin is off: volume goes all over the place (I can see it moving on the sound panel) Plugin is ON: volume stays the same. Absolutely awesome, cheers!!
  • (2022-01-13) Michał Matyas: Ever since I updated to Mac OS Monterey, Google Meet kept reducing the microphone volume until I was muted. It was extremely frustrating since I had to adjust manually the volume on every call and kept an eye on it or it would randomly cut me off. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS EXTENSION
  • (2022-01-11) Sarfaraz Ahmad: HELL YEAH!!! It works and it is versatile...
  • (2022-01-10) Clarz: for some reason its still increasing my microphone level in messenger
  • (2021-12-28) A Doorknob: IT WORKS!!! I have a very sensitive mic and every time I raised my voice the AGC would go overboard, now it never happens.

  • (2023-01-22, v:1.2) Terence Way: Working in Google Voice please?
    Does this extension still work in Jan 2023 please? It's sorely needed for when I use Google Voice within Google Chrome. Thank you...

  • (2022-04-20, v:1.2) Shaheem Imthiyas: Sometimes the extension stops working
    It works fine for a while and then sometimes it doesn't work, The extension icon doesn't have the ON sign on it and is just a grey icon. This issue started popping up recently. When it works, its a charm.
  • (2022-04-05, v:1.2) Abdullah Al Muaz (Aurka): not working anymore
    i use facebook/messenger call. and suddenly it is not working after new chrome update. is this only me or the extension need patch
  • (2022-03-07, v:1.2) Worked perfectly when first installed.....but stopped working
    Hi there, I installed this extension last week to use with my Jabra 75t Elite earpods and for a while it worked perfectly.... but has suddenly stopped working. I'm running Version 99.0.4844.51 of Google Chrome. Any ideas?
  • (2022-02-24, v:1.2) Doesn't seem to be working in 98.0.4758.82
    First of THANK YOU for creating this. But it doesn't seem to be working in Chrome 98.0.4758.82 (64-bit). We're using BigMarker, a webinar hosting service, and the mic levels are adjusting wildly, only in Chrome, not other browsers. So we hoped this plugin was the fix, but alas, despite being installed and activated, it still is automatically adjusting the gain. Is there a possible update for this that could be a fix?
  • (2021-12-29, v:1.2) Adrian: Does this work for Loom?
    I'm trying to get this to work with the Loom extension, but I can't get it to prevent chrome from changing the audio. Only affects the loom chrome extension, not the desktop app.
  • (2021-09-08, v:1.2) Kunal Mehta: Not working for Word Online
    This extension works perfectly for google meet and MS teams. But if I go to Onedrive, and from there open a word document in browser using "Word Online", and then click on the Dictate button, the microphone level keeps auto adjusting. (One possible reason could be that the Dictate feature might be calling microsoft's speech recognition engine somewhere, and we need to specify that location to your extension)
  • (2021-07-29, v:1.2) Guilherme Leoncio Kaster: A little tweak needed to work on my linux laptop
    I've tried many thing to get this fixed and was really hopeful your extension would but it doesn't seem to work. I did a little digging and could make it work by adding the keys bellow to the constraints and loading the "updated" extension manually in chrome. This has been plaguing me for more than a year and your extension allowed me to fix it. Thanks! audio { mandatory { echoCancellation: false } echoCancellation: false }
  • (2021-05-10, v:1.2) Lucian C: Microsoft Teams still not working with v1.2
    Hey, Probably a known issue but this is still not working with Teams. Also, thanks for taking the time to make this awesome extension. Cheers.
  • (2021-03-24, v:1.2) Juan Fernando Ortega: Thanks!
    Can it be used for other browsers? It worked perfectly on google and I appreciate a lot that you developed this plugin. however, I would like to know if there is any way of used in other browsers, for example Opera
  • (2021-03-01, v:1.2) Fernando Ruiz: Regarding Slack
    Hi man, you are a hero for this, however... Is there's a way I can use this on PC completely, everything chromium is a nightmare for audio recording, specially for SLACK on windows :(
  • (2021-02-14, v:1.2) Andrew Cannon: thanks!
    Don't really have a question, suggestion or problem.... just giving a heart-felt THANKS for creating this! I've been fighting the "auto adjusted levels" for a couple years now and you've just SOLVED IT!! THANK YOU!
  • (2021-02-04, v:1.2) Crim: Is this app available as an download
    Do you have a download option like to be on your computer not just chrome web store?
  • (2021-02-02, v:1.2) Mason Tang: Can't get it to work with Google Meet?
    Hi there, I'm trying to get this extension to work with Google Meet along with a Rode VideoMic NTG (as a USB audio device). I've enabled the extension per the instructions and I can see that it is on during meetings, but I still see the volume of my input changing on its own in the Mac Audio settings dialog. Is this a known issue? Anything else I can try?
  • (2021-01-15, v:1.2) Jason Q: Heroku App
    Hi is the new v1.2 you were mentioning out yet? I use a heroku app for school and even with the extension activated (I have to reload page for permissions) it is still auto adjusting mic gain.
  • (2020-12-07, v:1.1) Ryan Gosling in OnlyPinkForgives: Would you be able to get this to work with Amazon Connect CCP application?
    I work in a call center and my work uses Amazon Connect CCP (Contact Control Panel) for our call center calls/routing. I am constantly having to lower my microphone volume so that background noise isn't picked up. I attempted to use this however it does not appear to be integrated for the AWS app
  • (2020-11-25, v:1.0) giostix: does not work
    does not work I added the extension, but still can't get it to work
