The auto-ads that pop up at the start of streams are loud, but they fall just shy of exploding my eardrums. Obviously, Twitch is missing its mark, as my ears weren't bleeding the last time an ad played. When my stream volume is on 30%, and my PC volume is 65%, there's no reason the Twitch ads that play are not wrecking my headphones or speakers beyond repair. I suggest turning the gain on these ads from 95, which I guess is the current volume boost setting, up to 98 or 99. That should achieve the goal of knocking me out of my chair or waking up the guy in the next apartment over from the sheer volume of the ad playing on my headphones. Thanks. Just a little more effort, and people in planes flying over my house will be able to hear these ads clearly.

well a volume limitation for ads would be nice i know ads a louder that the usual stream but some of them are way to loud

Just lower the volume on advertisements, I have hearing loss from serving in the military. I can't turn the volume up during streams because I have tramatic shock from advertising. If my volume is past 5%. Change this advertisements volume is not more important than your users hearing. If I can prove your volume is higher than approved decibel levels I will take this to court. Civil lawsuit would be a horrible thing for causing damaged headphones and loss of hearing.

Advertising no probleam but playing it at 100% and NO way to set a lower volume is just VERY BAD

Somehow found my way hear, ears still ringing, pun intended. Currently there is an Advert for JBL that not only cannot have its volume change but the volume level is insane.

The ringing in my ears from wearing my headphones and having that blast in, to me, should be completely and utterly unacceptable. My desktop speakers also suffered damage from this ad.

I like ads, well, I like the way the system works to help provide free content. I'll even pay attention to ads for as long as they are relevant to me. So I'm not here to rant in general, this is about this and certain other ads being completely unreasonable, I'm not sure if even healthy/safe, my ears shouldn't be ringing like this from watching an advert.....

Please, please do something about this.

This ads is insane! The sound started as soon as the ads begin and it's so loud! You can't prepare before because it's coming at an unexpected timing! Are twitch even response to this kind of complain? I hope there are some alternative other than twitch for my live streaming needs

make the sound volume same then its on stream (the volume bar on the video)

Whenever I open a Twitch stream I get an advertisement (of course.. *sigh*) but what bothers me most is that it will boom from my speakers INSANELY loud, even though the sound settings on my PC are @ 50% and the stream itself is on mute. I watch a lot of creative streams on mute so I don't cause any distraction to the people around me. Needless to say, the fact that your ads seem to ignore any and all sound settings but just blast my way anyway, is keeping me from watching streams. Fix it!

This goes for all platforms. PS3, Xbox One, PC, Android, all have the same issue of the volume of ads being so loud I have to dash to my volume knob to keep my ears from breaking...

So many times a day when i go to ANY stream and ad starts, that ad is usually louder than most earrape trollvids u can see from YT etc. Would be great if volume slider affects that to every ad that it doenst rn. And ive often heard "Lower your headphone sound" but thats not option as ithen i hear nothing but ad.

Please yes. Jesus christ im back to adblock until that is fixed.

I'm getting 8 minute blocks of ads and its the same 2 ads repeating over and over....the volume on these ads arn't in line with my current setting on the stream either so ontop of ridiculous spam of ads your ears get blasted. Like you said I love Twitch but this change makes me not one to explore any other streams than the one person I am subbed to. I understand the adblock affected your revenue but do we really need 8 MINUTES OF ADS IN A ROW!?! I am finding myself on youtube streams now which i never thought I would do....sad day...very disappointed in twitch.

Playing a stream nice and calmy, and then suddenly and ad starts to play WITH VOLUME THAT SCREAMS IN YOUR EEEAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!!

Ads that are way too loud, unmutable and not possible to adjust sound at all.
This IS a real pain for me. Try having sound sensitivity and tinnitus + this sort of ads.
One of the most recent Way too high is huawei 9 commercial, there is more too.
I have had zero ad blockers, but Twitch.....
I have even shut down Twitch and gone done something totally else, due to high sound on ads.

Twitch streamers have a pretty wide range of how loud their volume is. I often have to adjust my Windows audio up and down for different streamers.

When I have my volume way up for a quiet streamer my ears get blasted by an ad break.

Adding a default option for streamers to normalize their volume level to a set dB level should help solve these differences and make switching streams and viewing ads more enjoyable.

Just have the volume of the ads be the same levels as the stream you're watching, please. For weeks now I've watched streams on low volume before I fall asleep. Then a local ad with horrible music blows full volume in the middle of the night. I'm sorry to say but this ad has made me hate watching anything on your website whenever it plays I just turn off the stream I was about to watch.

Even more annoyingly, if a 'Skip Ads' button appears, it doesn't even work

Please do! I don't want download adblock because I want support this site and the streamers but if this situation does not improve I will be force to do so... I got a headache for your fault!
