Volume in chrome is low

The Chrome browser is one of the most popular, and with it, we can do a lot of things, partly thanks to the high degree of customization it offers when we use it. All this is thanks to the Chrome Web Store, which allows us to enjoy thousands of add-ons for the browser that greatly improve the user experience with the original Chrome settings. As in the case of this extension, which allows us to individually adjust the audio volume of each of the browser tabs. Let's see how easy it is to adjust these parameters in the Chrome browser.

So you can adjust the volume of each tab

As you already know, the Chrome Web Store allows us to download thousands of extensions that allow us to edit many aspects of the browser, to adjust them to our needs, with options that even appear by default in the Google app. This time an extension allows us to individually adjust the volume of each tab open in the browser. To do this, the first thing we must do is go to the Chrome Web Store, from which we must download an extension called Volume Master, which will allow us to adjust the audio.

It has happened to many of us that when entering a certain website, an audio-video has been automatically played, which distracts us from what we are doing. Many times the only way to be able to enjoy the browser without these interferences is by turning off the speakers or completely lowering the audio volume. But once we install Volume Master, things get simpler. Once the extension is installed, we can individually select the volume of each of the tabs, without affecting the rest that is open.

In this way, when we see the extension icon in the upper right part of the browser, we can click on it so that the audio controls appear. Controls are based on a sliding button that allows us to adjust the audio volume of the tab in which we are at that moment. In this way, we can completely lower the sound of this tab, while the rest of the sound of the browser or the computer remains at the same level all the time. Undoubtedly an extension that offers us a practical solution to a problem that we suffer more times than we would like.

How do I adjust the volume on google chrome?
Have you ever had two or more tabs open with sound? Be it listening to music, watching a video, a video conference, or all together, you probably already thought that it would be interesting to be able to individually control the volume of each tab. If you've already caught yourself in this scenario, don't worry, there's a Google Chrome extension that lets you control the sound volume per tab, the Volume Master. This is useful when you want to focus and hear one tab louder than the other. You can easily decrease the intensity of songs or sounds in different tabs and also create some other effects.

Volume Master to control tab volume in Google Chrome
You can easily and safely download Volume Master from the Chrome Web Store. Once downloaded and installed, you can access and control the volume of each tab simply by clicking on the extension icon.

If the icon is not visible, you need to click on the puzzle icon and select to make it visible in the extension's shortcuts:

Adjust volume in Chrome tabs separately
In order to control the volume of a tab, simply click the Volume Master icon and adjust the control bar to separately control the volume of that tab. You can choose between 100 up to 600, the extension is even capable of increasing the volume of the music or videos that you are playing in the tab, but with a loss of quality.

You can change from 10 to 10, which gives you good control over the volume of each tab, almost 60 volume levels.

You can see below the list of guides that are playing audio. Clicking on any item in the list will take you to that open tab. All tabs now have independent volume control!

Volume Master is completely free and does not display ads. It is about 20 KB. In general, it is a small, safe, and very useful extension for your Google Chrome.

Hope this post helped you! :)
