https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Mac/Video-ads-way-too-loud/m-p/1120387#M110560 <P>Same issue.</P><P><BR />I listen to Spotify while on laptop via headphones. The phones are so sensitive, that I have to turn the volume down on my laptop - as well as Spotify application - almost to the very minimum to get the music to a confortable level.</P><P>After an update several weeks ago, the video ads started to be played at EXTREMELY loud volume. It must be several tens of Decibels louder than music and&nbsp; regular audio ads. The suond level on my phones is WAY beyond to what is healthy for hearing - it is very close to the pain level (110 dB)</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I must mute my laptop every time a video ad starts. It is not possible to lower the volume gradually fast enough.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I consider this a genuine bug on Spotify (especially as it appeared after an update to the application.) Please look into this issue before someone really suffers damage to their hearing.</P> Wed, 22 Apr 2015 19:56:29 GMT Toweri 2015-04-22T19:56:29Z
