It helps for sure, I needed it to listen to a round table with 4 participants who each have a different level varying from 10 to 15 DB (impression that the velocity is twice as strong or half as weak).
What is difficult is the setting without a VU meter, in order to "see" the lowest level to use it as an "uncompressed" reference, and to be able to "align" the compression of the strongest signals with the weakest. This would avoid "compressing" the signal too much, which would avoid increasing the background noise with the reverberations.
One thing that's missing is the signage and it's hard to understand, for example, if the ratio is 2:1-3:1 or 4:1 or if the attack is in milliseconds or whatever.
I managed to adjust it by ear and I don't need it often so it's fine for me, but for those who aren't too used to it, by reading the comments it seem it's not very easy for many.
It was a good idea to make this plugin, so thanks to the developer. Good job.

Works perfectly!

Love the extension and it does exactly what you'd need it to. My only feature request is to add an option for the extension to be url specific and auto turn off when you change sites. I find it I only need to use it while watching poorly leveled content, and often leave it on when I don't want to.

Thanks. Them meme reaction vids have there volumes wayy to high and low fr

EDIT: it looks like this was probably a problem on my end, likely from using more than one audio extension at once (and a resultant duplicated audio stream). I've since removed my EQ extension and this works really well. thank you!

OUTDATED:

4 stars for absolutely doing what it says on the tin. unfortunately, it makes the audio sound very bad right now. a previous review described it well, but it sounds like it could be a weird double-audio phase problem, or a slight reverb or delay. not sure, but the fact that this exists is an accomplishment in itself, so thank you!

Отлично, теперь можно смотреть фильмы нормально, не боясь что после максимально тихого бубнежа из-за которого приходится добавлять громкость последует перестрелка от которой уши вянут, поставил на high и громкость отлично выровнялась

Before that, it was a great plugin ever, but now it sound like have a reverb behind. Don't know what happen.

does what it says. thanks.

Cumple lo que promete, los sonidos bajos se amplifican y los sonidos altos no son alterados para que todo el sonido sea uniforme. El slider de boost amplifica todo el audio después de pasar por la compresión

Got 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.

Works very well. Quite satisfied.

Thx vatara, realy happy about :D

It works, but the sound quality is poor.

whoop! 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 :)

** EDIT: **
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?
