volume above 100% AND no normalization combined?

[Anoaxx]

its very simple, just add option to go louder then 100% if u use "forced volume" options u can allow that as seperate option.

PS. WELCOME BACK! <3

hi!!

besides that this feature still needs an update (or is it working for you still?)

[Anoaxx]

im not using it cause i have other extension that works everywhere in browser

[drewduong]

I'd like to contribute!

The only native way to use createMediaElementSource, .createGain() to increase the amplitude of the level sampling results in "overloading" and distortion of the sound.
It’s easier to specify in the “loudness normalization” parameter that it allows you to significantly increase the volume. No loss of quality. Since youtube lowers the video volume by 2 times for its own function of averaging the player’s volume level

like: Volume loudness normalization (Boost volume level)

[drewduong]

That's a really good point

Hi!

Just tried this extension to fix volume of a very quiet video. Found forced volume slider which goes to 400 but doesn't seem to actually do anything above 100. And loudness normalization option which also doesn't seem to affect volume in any way.

Firefox. Windows 10.

Uninstalled, found "Volume control" extension - works as expected.

It would be great to have a boost volume option

hi @drewduong! did you start? will soon?

• So for example, if the user sets a boost of 100% for a video that YouTube normalize to 0.6 usually, then we'd only need to disable YouTube's normalization for that video and add another 20% of boost?
  • besides if a user will use both, boost and our toggle to always disable YouTube's normalization - consequently all we can do is apply boost. (besides i am not sure how may people even want this & why)

2 times

• So that by a 'traffic light indication', in our slider the range between 100%-200% could be marked up as a gradient from green to yellow. While only the boost above 200% would always have to a gradient from yellow to red.
  • What's the average YouTube plays? ( 0.75? ) @raingart
  • ,whereas for each current videos there only is one break point where overdrive starts. Which could be indicated in our permanent volume slider too as ↑"this video" .
    • ,whereas we can also show the possible boost by lengthening the volume slider in YouTube's player. While the native boose can look almost the same and only the "overdrive" (gain) could be marked up with a faint red (compare UI ideas: <video> Player buttons to be added</video> #1445).

@grlscz thats why i changed the label to bug (/more precisely: outdated)

im not using it cause i have other extension that works everywhere in browser

(we should already run for all player (permission can be optional). limiting our effort to run on YouTube only makes no sense. compare #1881. @Anoaxx @grlscz )

This tampermonkey userscript was the only thing I found that worked somewhat, but it usually needed a page refresh to catch, i.e. not applicable in practice.

@raingart, so you know about normalization?

To-Do: #1085 (comment)
(bugs: #1896 #1408 #1922 )

youtube's built-in loudness normalization (which due to a long standing bug in Firefox on Linux changes the application volume in the system mixer).
