If you are on Linux, you can use JACK or PipeWire and simply insert a compressor (I use the one from Calf) into the route to your audio sink.

- recursive 5y agoA limiter might work for the purpose even better.
- etskinner 5y agoSome receivers also have this function. On my Onkyo, it's called Dynamic Volume. In my setup, I go one step further. I have a 'no subwoofer' activity on my Harmony hub that turns off a smart outlet switch to the sub and turns on Dynamic Volume. No more keeping my roommate up by watching movies late at night.
- npteljes 5y agoI use PulseEffects (for its equalizer), and it has a compressor too, among a myriad of other tools. NB I had to tweak its buffer settings to get the audio delay down to 40ms from the original 140ms.
- RealStickman_ 5y agoFyi, PulseEffects is now called EasyEffects.
- npteljes 5y agoWell, yes, but EasyEffects is a pipewire based thing. I didn't want to mess with my audio setup much, so I'm using PulseEffects, from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mikhailnov/+archive/ubuntu/pulseeffects https://launchpad.net/~mikhailnov/+archive/ubuntu/pulseeffec...
