Coming in 1.10

A little more
balanced.

The sound you love.
Fewer clicks to keep it that way.

Your next Normalize Volume brings optional Always on, simpler controls, and a fresh look. With the same familiar audio processing underneath.

1.10 is an upcoming update. It isn’t on the Chrome Web Store yet.

Less adjusting. More listening.

What’s new in 1.10

Made simpler where it matters.

The most requested addition

Turn it on.
Let it stay on.

Optional Always on follows you across supported websites and tabs, including reloads and browser restarts.

Enable it once and allow website access in Chrome.

A simple pause.
A simple return.

Switch Normalize volume On or Off whenever you like. Your target and Always on preference stay saved.

Clear status messages help when a player needs another try.

The whole range.
Already yours.

Choose any target from 10% to 100%. No email, no unlock code, no extra step.

Start at 60% and adjust while you listen.

A softer look.
A clearer experience.

A new violet wave logo, more room for your controls, and a refreshed dark mode for quieter evenings.

The original sound engine is preserved.

When the update arrives

Three small steps.
Then press play.

Your saved target, appearance and On/Off choice carry over. Always on is new, and starts off.

  1. Open Normalize Volume

    Make sure Normalize volume is On.

  2. Choose Always on

    Turn it on and allow Chrome’s website-access request.

  3. Find your target

    Play something and move Target level to suit your listening.

Listening on Spotify or another harder-to-reach player?

Open Normalize Volume while audio is playing. With Always on enabled, it can try Tab mode. If needed, select Normalize this tab to try again. Chrome needs you to open the extension to start this mode.

Target level shapes the normalization. It isn’t your device volume or a guaranteed peak ceiling. Chrome 119 or later is required.

New: Test Audio

Five samples.
Find your sound.

Open Test Audio right from the extension. Choose a sample,
move the target, and hear the difference.

Previous Normalize Volume 1.08 popup: Audio spike guard paused, Spike ceiling at 60%, and free range unlock links.
The original 1.08 popup.

Audio spike guard

Turn processing on or off for your current tab. The status tells you whether audio normalization is active or paused on that tab.

Spike ceiling

Start at 60%. Lower values clamp harder; higher values let transients breathe. Adjust in small steps while keeping player and device volume steady.

Settings

The gear opens Dark Mode. It changes the popup appearance. Use the home icon or back arrow to return to the audio controls.

The 1.08 free email-code unlock

The included range is 40–90%. The full 10–100% range is a free email-code unlock.

  1. Select Get full range for free.
  2. Read the email notice. Continuing means agreeing to receive Esrok security tips and setup emails. If you want to proceed, enter your email and select Continue free.
  3. Enter your code and choose Verify & unlock. If you already have one, choose Enter code in the main popup.

You can use the included range without signing up. If your email is missing, check spam and use Resend code or Change email. Never share your code with support.

If the audio doesn’t sound right

No sound?

Check the player, Chrome’s tab mute setting and your output device. Pause Audio spike guard to compare. If needed, reload the media page and activate it again.

No noticeable difference?

Open the popup on the tab playing sound. Compare the same short passage with processing on and off. Audio that is already even may change very little.

A page can’t be captured?

Try an ordinary video or podcast. Chrome internal pages and restricted media may be unavailable. Normalization cannot fix clipped recordings or remove background noise.
