Description from store
A web extension that lets you fix annoying sound problems on the web e.g. YouTube videos. Sound might play only in one channel, be too quiet at maximum volume, or too loud at minimum volume.
No more "plug your headphones only halfway into the jack" suggestions!
Unfortunately, doesn't work on all websites — specifically, we're not allowed to use the Web Audio API from a cross-domain <audio> source. Thankfully, YouTube is not cross-domain!
This extension is identical to the SoundFixer extension released for Mozilla Firefox, with code changes implemented to render it compatible with Chrome.

- (2025-01-29) Tomas: I needed to watch a playlist on YT and all the videos' sound was coming out of my left speaker and this fixed it.
- (2024-09-15) Mike Patriot: I've been using this extension for quite some time now. I have two remote-bluetooth speakers that play off of my TV that I stream content on. Well, one is farther away from where I sit and the other one is very close. I have no other placement options. Since my TV does not have Bluetooth capabilities, I had to add a transmitter with an optical (for the best sound quality) input from my TV to a Bluetooth transmitter. While the transmitter broadcasts in stereo, there are no balance controls on it. Unfortunately, the 'optical' output of the TV can't be balanced either, since the optical out of the TV typically feeds into a sound processor and will be balanced there. A balance adjustment on that output could cause issues on the processor and its most typical uses and controls. If I had a processor to put the signal into before transmitting the Bluetooth signal, I wouldn't be typing this, because I wouldn't need your extension. But, alas, I do. It would be great if the transmitter or the TV could process the sound using a physical balance setting, which would then feed a Bluetooth transmitter, I wouldn't need to be looking for another solution, but I don't have it, so here I am!!! I know I may not have been very clear, but please read until the end... I'm not the best writer, because I'm disabled with permanent post concussion disorder, so I don't think and explain things very well. Continued: The remote speakers that are paired together in a stereo config, and they expect an already balanced signal from the sound processor. Therefore, their volume control is not separate either. Turn one up, the other goes up the same amount. I said all of that to say this... Since my equipment has no balance controls in any of the hardware, I needed a software solution. This simple little extension does the job of balancing most of my output sounds from my Chromebook quite nicely. The only upgrade I would like to see, is a pinned setting for all of the web page balances to be able to set it once and forget it just like you do on most sound processors. I would like to see the same pin option for the volume boost setting as well. This is especially important when you are listening to a playlist of songs or videos. I'd like it if that setting would be pinned across all of the tabs as well as instances of using it in a new Chrome window. Maybe a "hold setting" button, or something similar. I like to make a nice playlist and kick back and veg out while listening to it. It's a pain in the backside to have to set this up every 3-4 minutes or so, when the song changes to the next one in the playlist. I hope I described my situation well enough for you to possibly make this nice upgrade for me or us all. I am sure that I am not the only user that this hold setting would help. It is still a 10-star review on a 5-star scale! P.S. If Google stops supporting this, is there an alternative way to obtain support for this? Or, am I just kicking a dead horse? BTW, This would also be great as an app. That way it can be used in other audio sources like Streamlabs games, VLC, or even in other browsers too. Not sure if this solution is something that can be done easily or maybe not! Either way... It may be something to consider. God bless you with everything you need and some nice wants too. I ask for this in our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ's, most holy and mighty name... Amen!

- (2023-10-25) COMMIE HUNTER: One of the BEST extensions out there, especially for YouTube. So many channels forget to make their audio stereo, and this makes quick work of that problem.

- (2022-11-16) Joan Kelley: downloaded app and it worked immediately! Was able to turn volume up much higher than ever before. Volume was factory set and I was unable to hear my favorite podcasts from my office to my kitchen 15 feet away. Very impressed. Let's just hope it keeps working.
