'Ello.
Has anyone else ever experienced the volume levels changing during a song? The only way I can describe it is it feels like someone's playing with the volume, lowering it for half a second before returning it to it's previous level.
It only does it on a handful of tracks, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this? Could it be an earphone/headphone problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey! 🙂
Can you try disabling "Set same volume level for all tracks" and "Enable Hardware Acceleration" in the Edit > Preferences menu and see if that makes any difference?

I have tried these things and it is still fluctuating for me.
I have also tried the above..no success...
The Volume Fluctuating Issue is MOST ANNOYING!
I have a windows 8 PC and this issue is really stuffing-up my Spotify experience.
There appears to be very little solutions offered, I have tried a clean reinstall, I have tried disabling and enabling the
settings recommended in the preferences...no success.
Can anyone please offer a solution???
It would be much appreciated, Spotify is totes awesome and i'm really hating this issue...
Cheers.
The volume levels are still fluctuating for me.
I have "set the same volume level for all tracks" disabled, and i have hardware acceleration disabled. The volume level on every single song still fluctuates.
It only happens on my Windows 7 64 bit PC, not on my iPhone 4s. And it only started happening once I reinstalled Windows on a new hard drive and reinstalled Spotify.
I can't listen to Spotify like this. It's unbearable. PLEASE HELP! 😞

Try going to the following - Control Panel > Sound > Communications - And taking a look at the check boxes here. There should be one that says "Do not adjust volume" or "Do nothing - Ensure that this is ticked. Hopefully this should stop the volume from messing around!
This worked for me
I have Windows 8.1 and this only happens with Spotify, not Songza, Amazon Cloud Player, or Pandora. It started happening just in the last week and I have no membory of downloading any new software.
I've played with disabling/enabling on Spotify:
- View > Hardware Acceleration
- Properties> Music Quality> High Quality Streaming
- Advanced Settigns> Crossfade tracks
- Advanced Settigns> Set the same volume level for all tracks
On my PC's Sound settings I checked "Do nothing" in Communications and I tried different options with Beats, which was included with my laptop.
Sound does NOT fluctuate using the app on my phone, so I can only assume it's either my PC or the PC application.
I believe I've tried everything listed in this topic, but posting again in a last ditch effort before I have to end my subscription 😞
Pretty sure Spotify is being hacked as the variying volume issue randomly occurs. It isn't a setting on the local client or anything to do with auto volume adjustments. The audiosource is simply turning down and will pause a random bit of time and then turn up and pause a random bit of time. This radomly happens.. some days it does not, some days its un-usable. The EXACT same thing happens when you use Spotify Connect and turn down the volume from a different device. This is the same behavior however some ghost of a geek is traversing through Spotify's streams and having a good ol time manipulating the volumes. This will soon end my spotify relationship however 😞
I extrapolated a solution to my issue from that post, after months of irritation. I immediately noticed a drastic reduction in volume, but it's been consistently lower rather than swaying up and down. The instructions in the link inside that link aren't accurate, but if you open your control panel, sound, select your device (for me it was my "Communication Headphones" which was the only place I can use spotify at work), go to advanced, and uncheck the box for "Enable audio enchancements" near the bottom. Click ok a few times to get out of the windows and there you have it. I've not had a volume slide since.
This didnt work for me, or rather, I dont have that option. I only notice my audio fluctuating when Im playing video games. Normally it occurs when the game is loading, e.g. Smite, Warframe. Recently though, Ive gotten back into Minecraft, and it seems to happen constantly there, and it seems to be based on the audio output of the game (at least for minecraft). Doors especially trigger the effect almost every time, possibly due to the sudden and loud noise they make.
I also experienced this fluctuating volume issue.
I run spotify on an Asus laptop with Realtek HD audio manager integrated on multiple sound systems.
The only one which got me this issue is a LS-B40 Soundbar from ONKYO.
It works well on Bluetooth, but there is troubles when connected with a jack.
I activated Loudness is Realtek HD manager, and noticed a huge change, but there was still fluctuating when music gets in low dynamics.
I set the source volume (laptop) on a high value and decreased the Soundbar volume, and it works perfectly now.
It could be a low signal related issue, the fact is this issue should be audio related, but its only on Spotity
Hope, this could have helped anyone.
PS : Spotify Hardware acceleration is on, and SRS Premium optimization is off.

Boris
try going control panel>sound>communication and press the one where it says " do nothing "
