Volume problems in Chrome, answered
Plain answers to the sound problems people run into in Chrome, and what fixes each one.
All guides
- Why is YouTube so quiet, even at full volume? YouTube evens out loudness by turning loud videos down, but it never turns quiet ones up, so a video uploaded quiet stays quiet.
- How do I make a Google Meet or Zoom call louder? If the call is still too quiet with your computer at full volume, boost the call’s tab.
- How do I change the volume of just one tab in Chrome? Chrome itself can only mute a site: right-click the tab and choose Mute site.
- Can Chrome’s volume go above 100%? Not on its own: 100% in Chrome means a page’s sound at its original level, and there’s no setting above it.
- Why is Netflix so quiet, and how do I hear the dialogue? Films and series are mixed with a wide range between quiet dialogue and loud action, which laptop speakers struggle to reproduce.
