The fact that this was shared in 2015 and NINE YEARS LATER it's still just as much a problem is insane.

Ad volume is one of the biggest things that makes Twitch unwatchable in 2024, and your numbers clearly demonstrate that you need all the retention you can get. Crazy that this is still happening.

I realized that issue today as well, I find out if I mute and unmute it goes back to same voice level I had. However when other ad starts you have to do same process to make it back to your sound level. It is really annoying especially when you watch it on the background..

It's on purpose. They know and they don't care. Corpos just wanna line their pockets.

Thanks

The last update on this was over a year ago. Every single new ad that starts goes to max volume regardless of what the player says. There is another ad uservoice from FOUR years ago asking for this to be fixed (anyone else reading this please go sign that...) How this has ever been a problem to begin with is beyond me. if i mute the stream itself then ads are muted as well, why not when i have the stream at 20%?? As a user this feels like an insulting lack of respect.

Supposedly twitch's terms for allowing streaming on multiple platforms is that the twitch audience's experience is at a minimum "not worse" than on the other platform. As if youtube hadn't already figured out this volume thing ages ago. I dislike youtube but at least i dont feel like im risking my hearing there. What a joke.

I was annoyed by this so much today, that I will not be returning to your website until this issue is resolved.

広告が流れ出す初めの瞬間だけ音量が大きいです。以降は適切な音量に自動で調整されるのでそちらは大丈夫ですが、イヤホンを使って視聴している身としては広告に切り替わる時いつもびっくりしてしまいストレスを感じます。

Disculpen tras la actualización de twitch mobile no funciona mi micrófono al hacer directos por favor ayúdenme

I JUST noticed that when ads come on it defaults the volume to 100% regardless. Thats disgusting. If i want a steam at 1% volume then i want the full thing at 1%, i dont want to be forced to hear ads when im lurking.

Gross.

Almost every AD is STILL significantly louder than the stream volume and every time one plays I get blasted and have to manually turn it down. PLEASE GET CONTROL OF YOUR AD VOLUME. As if shoving them in my face isn't enough at least stop them from being 200% louder than the stream I was watching!

I agree, here I leave my good idea so that everyone wins

Every time an ad starts the audio jumps up in volume to the point where my ears hurt. Every time an ad rolls over to another ad the volume jumps.

Moving the volume slider up or down a little causes the ad to go to the volume of the regular stream, only to rise again once another ad plays.

This is not fixed.

On my TV ads yell as ****.

This is still happening (Disney+ Adds for example) which are killing my ears each time they start.
The blast is so loud compared to the normal streams volume I was watching that I have headaches from them.
Please turn the volumes of the adds DOWN. this is a health hazard at this point. Thanks...

I'll just contact my senator and complain and ask they start having the fcc regulate it. Might be the only way to get this fixed since twitch doesn't think it's a priority and probably never will. I recommend anyone that comes here do the same.

Anyone else down to boycott twitch for a day or something? I don't think comments and complaints are working. And when companies don't listen to our voice, there's usually only one place where we can get them to listen. That's by hitting them in their wallets. I've been on this thread for years and there's been almost no improvement. Maybe we can find a way to still support the creators that we want to support and watch, but without doing it on twitch for a day. Would anyone else support this idea?

This issue is getting out of hand. I'm being completely ear blasted when a commercial starts.

I've been a part of this thread for almost a decade, and the issue is still not fixed. If twitch extensions can add a compressor to normalize volume, why can't the million-dollar company lol

8 years after, the issues is even more relevant than when it started. I watch some streams at 10%, when the ads plays, it doesn't matter at what % the volume slider is, the volume will jump so ******* high to be deafening. If you try to move the slider 1%, the volume of the ads will now correctly represent what the % set on the slider. So you think fixing the slider will just fix the issue right? NOTHING MORE WRONG. The average stream being played at a 50% volume WILL ALWAYS BE WAY LESS LOUD than an ads at 50%. This technique has been used with ads on television until countries' agencies decided to regulate it with laws and force the ads average volume to be the same of the program the accompany. ARE YOU ******* WAITING FOR A LAW TO COMPLY WITH NORMAL STANDARD REGULATIONS?
Your update dated 29/07/2023 IS ******* PATHETIC! I'M LITERALLY JUMPING FROM MY ******* CHAIR EVERY TIME AN ADS FROM "THE FINALS" IS PLAYING BECAUSE I'M LISTENING TO A STREAM WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST CALMLY TALKING. IF THE VOLUME I'M LISTENING IS AT 100%, FOR THE ADS TO HAVE THE SAME VOLUME I HAVE TO BRING DOWN THE SLIDER TO ******* 2%. YOU ARE ******* PATHETIC!
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO STOP USING AD-BLOCKERS? NORMALIZE ADS VOLUMES
I've commented this post multiple years but this is the last chance I'm giving you. After that I will not hold myself from using any free method to avoid ads, hence I DO NOT CONSIDER TWITCH TURBO A SOLUTION FOR THIS ********
