- Rated 5 out of 5by phraun, 3 years agoGot sick of listening to spoken content on YouTube with wildly varying levels between videos. This thing is hell on wheels.
I started with 'Medium' and settled on:
-30,30,10,0.001,0.275,0
I noticed it seemed to introduce some peaking while enabled, but dropping the volume on the YouTube player to ~95% took care of it.
I don't use it for e.g. music playback, so I can't speak to that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17137917, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by smellybitz, 4 years agowhoop! Was gonna write the code myself to do this as a custom script in the youtube enhancer extension but now I don't have to :)

Thanks for the quick reply. Very much appreciated.

Now, though, I'm having persistent audio issues with the compressor:
— an out-of-phase doubling of the sound
— minor distortion
.
Unsuccessful troubleshooting attempts I've tried already include:
— extreme and mid settings
— disabling my "Audio Equalizer" plug-in
— switching to and from Bluetooth headphones
.
Any ideas?

Question for vatara, "Audio Compressor" extension dev:
.
I try to avoid any browser extensions that aren't vetted ("Recommended by Mozilla"), so I'm wondering which aspect(s) of this extension require such highly-sensitive user-data to function?
.
The extension needs to "access your data for all websites", which means that anything I type on any website, including:
— usernames & passwords
— work emails
— my highly-personal . . . "dear diary...today after 4th period, Jason actually looked at me!!!!11" . . . kinds of Google-Docs-diary entries
— tragic and sad Reddit comments of mine on r/Gonewild50Plus
.
Apart from this question holding me back, everything about the extension itself looks good enough to try.
What do you say?Developer response
posted 4 years agoIt's a good question. With how Firefox permissions work, to be able to insert the compressor into any page, it needs the "Access your data for all websites" permission. That said, the plugin is open-source (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audio-compressor/) so anyone can look at the code to see it's not accessing or storing any data other than what is needed for the compressor. - Rated 4 out of 5by Squeaky Pancakes, 4 years agoDoes what it says. The UI could be cleaned up a bit and a shortcut to enable/disable would be really good to have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15071415, 4 years agoExactly what I needed!! And for such a long time... it's perfect for what I need it for. Thank you for making this. Begone crappy unleveled audio!

Review: Lovely add-on. Works very well. You will have to have a basic understanding of what a compressor does before you can play around with the settings.
For those who wants to boost and compress audio, just select anything from Low, Medium to High, and play around with the "Boost" slider for a quick fix when listening to audio that's very low in volume. - Rated 5 out of 5by Truth Unknown, 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ape, 4 years agoDoesn't really work. If the volume is turned up, the volume won't be compressed. This sometimes happens when videos on websites are set to MAX volume. Hope you can fix this problem because i really need a nice compressor

- Rated 4 out of 5by SBTL, 5 years agoI agree it would be much better if we could limit the effect to only one tab, while disabling it on other tabs.
EDIT:
Ah yeah. It's was just a bit odd, saving on one page, then having to go to a different tab to turn it off for all the other tabs. I think that was because the default was set to on though, I've made the default off, so hopefully it will stay off now, unless I save.Developer response
posted 5 years agoIf you mean tabs that are different addresses, you can click the URL next to "Save settings for" to let you customize the settings for that address only. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vedun, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by tpartida, 5 years agoIs there any way this addon can be limited to only one tab, while disabling it on other tabs?
