A Boost That Tells the Truth

Audio v1.1.3 Pending review

1.1.3 fixes a case where the boost looked started but was not: the popup now shows a failed start, and you can try again. Mono sound comes out at the correct level in both ears, and at 100% volume with no effects the sound passes through unchanged. Your settings carry over, and there are no new permissions.

  • A failed boost start now shows as failed, so you can try again.
  • Mono sound now plays at the correct level in both ears.
  • At 100% volume with no effects, the sound passes through unchanged.

When the boost fails to start

On Chrome, Edge and Firefox, the popup could show a tab as boosted when the boost had not started. A failed start now shows as failed, the tab is not marked as boosted, and you can press the button to retry. This stuck state was seen on protected video streams, and in our test on a protected stream the boost now works.

Fixes & Other Changes

  • Mono sound (many podcasts, voice calls, old videos) now plays at the correct level in both ears. Before, mono sources came out about 3 dB too low.
  • At 100% volume with no effects turned on, the sound passes through unchanged. Before, very loud tracks could be turned down slightly when you had changed nothing.
  • Your settings carry over.
  • No new permissions.
