About Audio Ducker
Tired of manually lowering the volume of background tabs every time you start a video on Twitch or YouTube? Audio Ducker is your personal browser audio engineer!
Audio Ducker automatically ducks (lowers) the volume in background tabs (music, podcasts, or other streams) as soon as your active tab starts playing audio. It’s the perfect solution for multitaskers: watch your favorite streamers without having to turn off your background music.
Key Features:
✅ Automatic Ducking: A smart algorithm detects the active audio source and instantly makes background tabs quieter.
✅ Instant Recovery: As soon as you pause the active video or close the tab, the background volume automatically returns to its original level.
✅ Customizable Ducking Level: Find the perfect balance — from complete silence to subtle background sound (0% - 100%).
✅ Priority Sites: Add your favorite websites to the priority list so the extension knows which sources to prioritize.
✅ Lightweight & Fast: Minimal resource usage and zero-lag performance.
✅ Full Privacy: We value your security. The extension works locally, never collecting or transmitting your data.
