Facebook videos are too loud

Not sure if it is only me, but as of this writing, I find some of the Facebook videos are too loud compared with other websites or players on the machine. Whenever I play a video, I usually turn the volume down. Then whenever there's an ad, it screams in my ears. Same when I play the next video, the former adjusted volume level doesn't stick. This could be a bug in FB, so I even suggested a feature improvement. 

As a solution, I found this chrome plugin.

Sound and video fixes for Facebook

Don't know who developed it, but the dude has fixed one of Facebook's problems, and many thanks to the developer. I might as well help him out as it is an open-source project.

No more screaming videos!

  1. I also submitted a feature request, as basically every other video player remembers the last volume you set. Facebook however always starts videos at maximum volume, and it's so annoying that I have to make an exception and turn down my main volume only for them. As a web developer I know how insanely easy it is to save a volume setting. Thanks for bringing attention to this.
