Play audio, then open Normalize Volume on that tab. 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.
The sound barely changes
Compare the same quiet passage with Normalize volume Off and On. Keep the website player and device volume steady. Already balanced audio may change very little.
There is no sound
Check the player, Chrome’s tab mute setting, and your output device. Switch Normalize volume Off to compare, then reload the media page if needed.
My controls still have the blue logo
Chrome manages extension updates. The new violet controls are being prepared for the Chrome Web Store. Visit What’s new for the new controls and the previous version’s guide.
Target level shapes normalization; it is not your device volume or a guaranteed peak ceiling. Some restricted pages or players need Tab mode or cannot be processed.
