Compress audio to make sound volumes more even
Audio Compressor is an addon that uses dynamic range compression to make sound volumes more even.
There are presets for different levels of compression. You can customize the default settings or the settings for a specific site or page.
There are some sites it doesn't work with, cross-origin browser security blocks scripts from modifying audio/video from a different host. As far as I know there's no way around this.
This works by using the Web Audio API to get the audio context for a page, and inserting a DynamicsCompressorNode.

This compressor works so well and is easy to adjust, including presets
It works! Why not the GUI would be improved?
GOOD ! Simple is best.
Works right but on some sites like TikTok it cuts the sound, you have to put the preset on "disabled" and F5, it's inconvenient, it would be great if you could fix this, thanks
Great extension works on most sites that I use like youtube and twitch breaks sound on some others but it has a button to quickly disable the audio compression so its not a big problem
Now that negative boost is available, this app is almost perfect! If it were dual-band with a frequency slider I could set to 185Hz, that would be perfection!
Breaks sound output on numerous sites. Works well in youtube.
I love it! I wish I knew about this sooner. just a feature request: add a hotkey to disable it and maybe for the diferent profiles. it would be good to have them for videos where the compression makes them too loud
doesnt work in tiktok.com
A very useful extension for fine tuning audio levels in each tab of your browser. This extension has all the parameters used in most professional audio compressors and it's functionality works pretty good for what it is. I have no complaints, but visual input, gain reduction and output levels would be nice.
Has no effect on hdtodaytv . tv
I can't find a way to have it permanently engaged
I use it for twitch. Very useful tools but have one problem. Somehow twitch clips are all muted.
Yeh it still works. I have been using it for months. It's a bit finicky tho. make sure you have clicked on the extension and select one of low/medium/high to get started. Also, you might occasionally need need to open the tab again to get the plugin going. I set the extension to 'click to activate' on Chrome or Edge. It seems to work more consistent that way.
Works great on Brave. Please add ability to assign hotkey to toggle 'enable' checkbox on and off.
does this still work?
DOES NOT WORK - KILLS CHROME SOUND. DO NOT USE. REPEAT: DO NOT USE.
works for my animes sites which is huge!!!!
Got it because I listen to a lot of old lectures, but it doesn't work with any of the non-YouTube sites these are hosted on. Useful on normal TV streaming services, but eh, I really need it for these lectures.
It works well on most sites, but unfortunatly some sites like Bandcamp for example do not work when this is enabled. So i have to subtract a few stars from the review rating.
Sometimes works, sometimes don't, rullete. Not sure if it's youtube, this addon, or chrome.
Can we get longer release curves?? PLEASE!!!
works well. commercials are no longer blaring at full volume compared to the programme
It seems like a perfectly fine compressor until the Auto-gain keeps the audio at the same peak level it was at, except now the RMS is louder. I need my browser compressor to have an Output gain so I can actually manipulate the overall level of whatever it is I needed compressed. Seems like an easy fix that I hope the devs will implement - this is an extremely useful browser compressor made useless by its own Auto-gain.
*EDIT* Thanks to the review below I restarted the browser and it started working, and it works GREAT!! I love the concept, something like this is absolutely needed. However, having just installed this due to a very angry roommate and extremely erratic volume changes in the show I'm watching (barely discernable dialogue jumping into extremely loud music), I replay the same scene that caused the issue while toggling the extension on/off and it has absolutely no effect. It does nothing, sadly.
It's really good but I think a lot of people would benefit from an explanations page. For example, I had this for a few weeks now but I JUST figured out you can make your own presets. Also, some people might not be that into audio so it would be cool if you added a short description explaining what each slider does.
Must have extension. Works as expected. Would be cool to have dark mode with newer UI for future update.
Works well. Restart your browser after first install to activate.

Love this extension. Latest update has broken the interface however.

Использую его в Kiwi браузере на андроид. Это единственный действенный способ что я нашел для нормализации громкости смартфона. Для прослушивания ютуба на динамике смартфона. Спасибо тебе огромное!
Enableボタンの位置をUIの上方に、大きく設置してほしいなと思いました。それ以外は特にバグらしいバグもなく、満足に働いてくれるので満足です。
Works great for me, thanks!

This is the only compressor with tweakable settings I could find for chrome. However, there's very poorly done auto gain that you can't disable and the makeup gain can only increase volume, so you can't lower the output. It would be an awesome extension if you could disable the auto gain, but it is unusable in it's current state.

not working on kick.com. works on youtube
Всё работает! Сначала не заработало, но после перезагрузки браузера начало пахать! Поэтому если у кого не работает, попробуйте перезагрузить браузер. А так я затестировал компрессор на ютубе, в вк и на некотрых сторонних сайтах с музыкой, всё работает. А то на некоторых видосах громкость скачет с невозмодной динамикой - эта прилажуха спасает! Спасибо!
Why does it say it wants to read all my data on all websites when i install it but under the privacy tab it says no data will be collected? Bit sketchy, isn't it?

look, i know how to use a compressor, i work with audio on a daily basis. why does this compressor, even on the default "medium" setting, just straight-up mute what im playing? applied it to a single website and all it did was removed sound completely.

Works really well, and certainly beats the extensions that just give additional gain. There's some pitfalls with using it on cross-origin sourced audio, but thankfully it's simple to disable on a per-site basis. Great work, and looking forward to future upgrades!
