• (2021-01-26) Jonathan Wilansky: Works great to reduce dynamic range of videos from the browser so that I'm not constantly adjusting the volume while I watch. Downsides: the overall output from the browser is much lower so the computer volume needs to go much higher... which can be extremely annoying if I forget to turn the computer volume down before playing sound from outside the browser; also, maybe a bug, when starting a new episode from Netflix, there is a short loud boom of uncompressed sound before the compressor kicks in, which can be annoying, even dangerous. I wish there wasn't these issues.
• (2020-11-10) Rohan Lasrado: Perfection
• (2020-11-10) Blaine Bailey: The app sounds amazing! I use it at night to avoid crazy loud noises on really dynamic sounding movies and shows and it's very difficult to hear to the compressor kick in. Biggest complaint by far is the delay. I'm not sure why it delays so much, but fortunately setting the buffer size to the lowest value still sounds really good and brings the delay down to a couple frames. The interface takes a minute to get a handle of. Personally, I just keep it fully compressed and pull the volume 90% of the way up.
• (2020-10-10) Sergio: Not effective enough and broke sound on too many sites. Plus the user interface doesn't make any sense. I'm told to widen or narrow and slide the bulb side to side but there doesn't seem to be any controlling of the 'compressing' happening regardless of what I do. So it's just a volume slider that breaks the audio on a bunch of sites, including Dailymotion and most of the audio loops and samples sites I frequent to audition sounds for music production. It drove me nuts for weeks until I tracked this extension down as the culprit and uninstalled it.
• (2020-09-13) albert chen: This is so close to being my one stop extension for audio. I is so perfect in its functionality but just lacks a little executes. I glitches at times and doesn't work for all video. Also the minimum audio buffer is 2048 samples, which is a little on the long side. I wish that some would continue development are if the project goes open source. This extension is great.
• (2020-08-15) Akash Patel: Been very useful so far with videos that have super loud or super soft volume levels. One issue I have seen though is that this extension completely mutes volume on Zoom meeting recordings. Bypassing the extension doesn't seem to help. It still completely mutes the audio.
• (2020-07-19) Patrick Rannou: Problems: #1: It works only with HTML 5. Maybe wonderful for such sites, but I watch a lot of "redirected" streaming, so, lots of websites I tried, the extension didn't do zilch. Maybe just grab directly the Windows (or Mac) sound output itself, maybe with an UAC permission, instead of coding "inside" one single specific HTML format that doesn't support redirections? #2: The interface choice, while it looks super cool, is also super useless. What the user gets: - A SINGLE slider that you drag left to lower high volume and drag right to boost low sounds - 3 choices of "dynamic range" which essentially give you no idea what it does - And finally a sampling size for performance control. This is pretty useless because while it seems simple to use, the amount of control you really get is very low because it kind of "fuses together" things that should be kept 100% separate. If you need your low volume sounds boosted by amount X AND your high volume sounds lowered by amount Y, while leaving the middle volume levels intact, then you're out of luck. If you need to set the point which is considered middle volume level a bit higher or lower, but WITHOUT also impacting the scaling on the low and high volume levels, sorry you're also out of Luck. If you need to change the actual "shape" of the scaling, for example choosing between greatly boosting all low volume levels more or less equally up to some point, vs boosting the low volume levels a bit while boosting much more those low volume levels which are really very low, then you are also out of luck. Basically you have no control over the specific shape of the equalizing function, you can only move it left or right, or make it wider/thinner only it in a very global way. It's almost a one-size-fits-all approach. What the user SHOULD get instead: - Classic "master volume" equalizer control with let's say from 3 to 20 sliders (user number box choice, with default at say 5 sliders). Sliders can each be picked and dragged up and down to specify how louder (up) or softer (down) sounds at that volume level get to be scaled. Each slider would thus represents one of the input volumes levels from min to max, but not exactly using a linear scale: it would use an exponential scale to get a finer granularity at the lower input volume levels, and coarser granularity for the the higher volumes. Maybe also display a graph with exponential scale axes, with, on the X axis , the "input volume", and, on the Y axis, the '"output volume", with each slider shown as a colored vertical line, and the total equalizer curve shown, connecting the to each of of those lines, in order to show the exact scaling applied at all volume levels. - Another similar set of sliders + graphs, this time instead showing an adjustment according to the frequency of the sounds (default being at 100%). This is because at equal volume, some frequencies are heard to hear, while other frequencies can be felt too strongly. - And finally the "sampling size" control. Still searching for a good volume equalizer out there...
• (2020-06-30) ​‌‍‎‏ ​‌‍‎‏: This extension will be good if it does not stop other sites videos from playing back without sound. like Instagram or LinkedIn...
• (2019-12-24) D-Rock Anomaly: The design is very un-intuitive. Works alright once figured out, but the control is very fine, very sensitive. It's just annoying to use. Simple sliders, or preset modes work perfectly fine, no need to reinvent the wheel.
• (2019-12-11) valery zimnitskiy: It works well. But i found the problem with youtube who starts to glitch for a second when going to fullscreen and back.
• (2019-08-15) over00lord Unknown: Exactly what I was looking for. This extension allows you to hear people talking quietly in videos and it stops loud sounds from being deafening.
• (2019-08-09) Racquet Network Staff: I have a retail store in which we run a YouTube video loop. The volume is really uneven with some vids blasting and other vids whispering. We used to control the loudness through the enhancements tab in the Realtek HD Video driver controller, but that disappeared when we got a new machine with a new sound card that doesn't support that functionality. So we decided to give Earsoft Level a try. Good new is it works. Bad news is that the tutorial is incomprehensible. So ignore it. Set the volume on your speakers to 50 (middle). Add Earsoft Level to Chrome. Close the tutorial. Click on the yellow Level logo to open the slider. Double click the white dot in the center of the grey bulge. Keep double clicking it until the bulge is as narrow as it gets. Slide it to wherever you want it. Adjust from there. It actually works.
• (2019-04-16) Sizer: Very good extention。My ears never bleeds when i whatch some videos nomore!
• (2019-03-06) its amazing! definently a must get. not as loud as i thought but definently good and way louder than my laptops actual sound!
• (2019-02-23) Steve Klein: Nice feature, should be built into Chrome. Seems to function, but not to work. Somehow, most of my videos for a whole year didn't play until I rebooted my computer, used a different browser, etc., then when I disabled just this extension, suddenly the videos would play. When I re-enabled this extension, the videos again would just be frozen when you hit play.
• (2019-02-05) Dannii Lee: BUGGED AND TAKING TO DEAD WEBSITE PLEASE FIX Settings work upon opening the first time thereafter I am taken to a dead website. Seems to works decently with my initial choice of options which I am unfortunately stuck with and not adequate for every occasion. Would rate higher otherwise.
• (2019-01-28) Marius Noetzel: Funktioniert nicht sonderlich gut, sehr häufigist am Ende garnix mehr zu hören.
• (2019-01-12) Kitsune Shan: Does what it says. The only downslide it's that the slider it's quite confusing to understand. For those that gets trouble with it, the wider you make the slider, the bigger the difference between low and high sounds so if you installed this extension to fix the too loud music but too low voice volume, keep it as narrow as possible then slide to left and right to adjust the whole volume. EDIT: It messes Facebook videos and disable their sound. It also makes the videos to stop playing and you can't play them back till the extension it's turned off.
• (2019-01-05) ghbR ttjvstj: only opens once. when you try to adjust it again it takes you to a dead website
• (2018-12-06) maklemenz: Tut genau was ich erwarte. Einfach den Regler auf fast ganz rechts ziehen und alle neu geöffneten Tabs haben die selbe Lautstärke und zwischen lauten und leisen Szenen gibt es keinen allzu großen Unterschied mehr. Perfekt um Abends noch FIlme zu schauen
• (2018-10-07) Josh Lloyd: I like this extension a lot, does what it says, compresses and expands your audio to keep the volume in a comfortable level. Whispers are hearable and screaming is attenuated. The UI and initial setup are unnecessarily confusing. The slider that pops up when you click the extension took a little getting used to it, and when I thought I understood it perfectly, I realized I didn't. I'm still not sure how to adjust the high and low levels individually without sliding the whole gain. But, this has made music late at night, and movies at all times of the day, much more comfortable to listen to. Especially when Youtube videos have not had any mastering and they don't compress yelling. As another user mentioned, there is some audio stutter when Youtube videos are switched between full screen and container. Not entirely breaking, but a little distracting. There is also some audio delay seemingly induced with this extension, very hard to notice unless you've a close up of someone's face and their lips seem a little out of sync (Its fractions of a second and had I not mentioned it, you might not have noticed, sorry).
• (2018-05-21) Hartman Tam: The official website is down, but this just fit for me to listen music on YouTube.
• (2018-02-10) Uriei: It would be perfect if it worked well, but I've tried all buffer levels and I can't get a sound without glitching or desyncing by several seconds.
• (2018-02-10) Yang Zhou: Never had an issue with it. Well done!
• (2018-02-08) Orçun Kılıç: Breaks youtube occasionally. Doesn't work with majority of the sites... yeah yeah it's only html5 what ever. dozens of other extensions that does the job.
• (2017-12-14) Chris Katko: It works okay. The interface is confusing as heck. However, now it makes YouTube corrupt sound (YT had a recent update?) and stutters constantly if I click anywhere else on my computer. So I finally had to uninstall it and sound works fine now.
• (2017-12-07) Richard Evans: Works really well.
• (2017-11-05) Michael J. Victoria: Takes me to a "this site cannot be reached" error after closing the tab with which I used it. If I want to use it again, I have to remove and reinstall.
• (2017-11-01) Dake: Under appreciated extension.
• (2017-10-17) Justin Ellard: Just gives me a "This site cannot be reached" error.
• (2017-09-29) Thure Christianson: Makes videos that haven't been compressed actually watchable without constantly changing the volume.
• (2017-09-12) Andrew: The only extension that can do this and does it perfectly. I use it because laptop speakers aren't that great and sometimes it starts crackling.
• (2017-04-24) MrZ1pp0: Dynamic range working well!
• (2016-10-10) 莉榛亞: 真的很棒啊！聽youtube超方便的！
• (2014-08-28) Dylan McKee: Very cool. Easily let's me keep my volume consistent and everything nice and listenable.
