https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Mac/Video-ads-way-too-loud/m-p/1221782#M110644 There is a workaround described above that stands:<BR /><BR />Set the volume on the Spotify player software to maximum. Then adjust<BR />the computer output volume back to a comfortable level. No more loud ads.<BR /><BR />Problem lies in the fact that Spotify allows advertisers to adjust the<BR />player volume, against your will, when their ad is played, overriding<BR />the player volume setting you have set yourself. Naturally they set it<BR />to max - because they can!<BR /><BR />When you set the volume of the player to max yourself, the ads cannot<BR />increase volume anymore higher than you now listen to your music at.<BR />Effectively you have created a ceiling to the audio volume.<BR /><BR />This results music and ads be played at the uniform level. And you still<BR />can set the actual output volume to any level you like via the computer<BR />volume setting.<BR /><BR />Tested. I can confirm this is an effective workaround, that Spotify<BR />cannot bypass without your consent.<BR /><BR /><BR /> Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:21:00 GMT Toweri 2015-10-12T18:21:00Z
