Spotify randomly maxes out volume

SquidWard3000 — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 18:35:41 GMT

Every time I change song the volume maxes out including my downloaded songs and also whenever I startup the app.
Tried clearing cache, reinstalling, logging out and back in, and messing with the volume normalizer.

My Question or Issue

Spotify Desktop - when I normally click switch to video once I've started my playlist playing, if the next available song had a video it would play it. Yesterday since the app had an update the following problems:-

once the song with the video playing has finished, it no longer plays the next video it just plays the song (even though there was a video available)
the volume of the song playing (after the video song) is really high - it's like there's a problem with volume normalization? The moment I click on the volume slider (I don't even move it) the volume goes back to the level I had.

All this has changed since yesterday Spotify Desktops Windows App update.

I've just tried a full clean reinstall - still the same problem.

Same problem, are you also getting the slight fade in when you start a song too?

I have the exact same problem, whenever I start Spotify the volume slider is still on the old position, but the volume is maxed out. It also happens when starting a song that is from a local folder.

The only workaround I have for now is to use the web version, I'm on Firefox and have no issues there.

What i did to fix it for right now is clean install a previous version, and wait till they fix it

Volume goes to max automatically when starting app

My Question or Issue

Whenever I start the app the volume automatically goes high. The volume slider is still low though. And yes, I can adjust the volume

Hey folks!

Thank you for reporting this - this should now be fixed.

Try removing your app's cached data should you still experience issues. If this doesn't help out - see if performing a complete clean reinstall of the app would make a difference.

Many thanks! 🙂

I have done 2 clean installs, one with and one without revo uninstaller (removes absolutely everything of an application). Both times the problem still persisted. I also tried the microsoft store version and from the spotify site directly.

robigouk — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 14:24:03 GMT

where do I get a previous version from?

SquidWard3000 — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 14:26:06 GMT

Tried reinstalling it through Microsoft store and clearing appdata and the problem is still there. Probably a Spotify issue rather than a client one. Should just wait until an update or install a previous version

I tried a complete clean uninstall (including removing all local files as per the instructions), complete reboot and reinstall - still the same issue.
