YouTube enabled a new feature called "Stable volume". It's good for entertainment videos but terrible for our ambiences (and songs, sometimes). I was surprised to hear one of my ambiences suddenly didn't sound well. That was the culprit. Make sure you disable it if the audio levels of some elements sound off.

It's upsetting that this "option" is enabled by default without asking.

I will never understand the movement towards intrusive volume normalization 😔 stay ambient out ther

Thank you for this. It sounded great to my ears since I'm new to ambience but now it sounds even better!

I totally forgot this was a thing and was wondering why some music started sounding weird. It's great for pretty much everything else though.

Jojo’s ASMR has a little fancy text blurb at the beginning of his videos that mentions turning it off. Could be something you can include as well?

Unfortunately this is because a great majority of YouTube content creator are not doing their job on the audio track… they can’t be arse to normalise their sound levels and that’s why when you watch something you need to adjust the volume every 5 seconds. Of course it’s terrible for those that work on music 😅

Funnily enough “stable Audio” is currently not available to mess around with on mobile

Your live music thing you have playing I listen to a lot but it constantly cuts out playing static noise sometimes for about 15-20 seconds at a time

So THAT'S why everything is so quiet. Where do I find this setting?
