Audio Normalization Option
Add a switch in the voice chat settings to enable audio normalization to raise/lower everyone's mic loudness to the same level. It gets very difficult to use voice chat when there are people I can't hear even at 200% volume. It would also be nice if this normalization could be adjusted to whatever volume the user wants/the output volume already specified.

i literally found this thread by searching google assuming this option would already exist in a service dedicated to communication :i

TeamSpeak / Mumble had this nailed down 10 years ago. Kind of disheartening to see that discord still has prioritized this. It can be done.

Please implement this. My wife frequently has to leave the room because some people are so loud it hurts her ears, and at the same time, there are more quiet individuals I cannot hear at all. It is not feasible to adjust the volume of the 50 plus people in the channel. On top of that, their microphone volume or distance seems to change on a daily basis or more.

This is a great annoyance for me, not only everyone has different volume but their volume also changes depending on their distance from their microphone. It's extremely inconvenient that Discord doesn't have this option.

Words can not express how much I want this.

I would love this feature. I ended up damaging my hearing a bit because certain people were so loud on call while others were still quiet at 200%. :(

How is this not a thing, it's totally annoying

it is ridiculous that this isn't a thing, people with sharp and inconsistent volume on their mic's is commonplace on discord, for a program so fixated on looking user friendly and easy to use it has not done well with this.

/sign Turning your volume up so you can hear one guy, only to then have your ears blown out by someone else... Fixi fixi pls :P

Please add this, its become a daily ritual to try and get everyones volume the same. Tempted to set up a teamspeak server for talking and just using discord for streaming and memes.

Please for the love of all that is holy make this a thing. As a streamer that plays with my audience this is so important!

I seriously don't get how this isn't a thing.
This wouldn't be working on the server side, only on the client side, so it wouldn't put any load on Discord itself.
It's such a small feature that would be vastly useful for a lot a people.

Desperately needed for all for the reasons above, plus people that alternative between quiet and loud -- often because of their microphones.

Please add this, it would make adjusting volumes so much easier
8 -
Please, please, please, please, please, please add this already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is desperately needed. I really miss having this from Mumble.

I would love to have this and miss Mumble very much right now. It is to the point of asking people to change back and just use Discord for posts which is sad.

Any voice software that doesn't already have this feature needs to come out of the dark ages. If older software like Mumble or Vent supports it and you are a new platform that doesn't you really need to think hard about your choices.
7 -
Please. We are all begging, add this.
7 -
I find it completely absurd that discord doesn't have this option. It is by far the biggest annoyance I have with the program. I'm constantly having to adjust the volume of people, even multiple times a day. Make it happen, discord. This is unacceptable.

ADD THIS PLEASE! Doing raids with the boys and some people are loud some are quiet, gotta adjust everyone by hand. Has to be a smarter way.
6 -
Please finally add this option. For me as a gamer and streamer using your platform this feature would be a godsend!

Two years ago? How is this still not a thing?

+1, and when this is implemented PLEASE use the LUFS (to the -23 LUFS broadcast standard) as the means of adjustment as this more closely aligns with perceived loudness to humans than peak or RMS measurements. Peak or RMS normalization will still result in people needing to manually adjust one another for an "even" sound.

Please discord. We need this.

FFS Discord, this is just embarrasing not to have this as a "feature".

how is this not implemented yet? people screaming into their $1 mics is super annoying

Discord team? please this request would upgrade discord quality a ton, it shouldn't even be that complicated. Maybe a loudness meter API, when activated it sends samples of current members sound and the user sets an objective db/luffs to which discord can adjust to.
It would be freaking awesome4 -
Two and a half almost. Original request is from November 5, 2019. This request is from before Covid.
