About Ducker

Ducker automatically lowers the volume of background tabs so the tab you’re actively using stays clear and audible. Tired of music, videos, or other tabs competing with the audio you’re actually trying to hear? Ducker automatically ducks background audio while keeping your primary tab at full volume. 🚀 Features: ⭐️ Automatic audio ducking — Lower the volume of background tabs when your active tab is playing audio. ⭐️ Adjustable ducking — Choose how much background audio should be reduced. ⭐️ Per-tab volume control — Adjust individual tabs when Auto Duck is disabled. ⭐️ Tab overview — See which tabs are active, playing audio, or currently ducked. ⭐️ Mute and unmute — Quickly control audio from individual tabs. ⭐️ Pin tabs — Keep important tabs protected from automatic ducking. ⭐️ Deep audio control — Control audio on sites where normal volume controls don't work, using Chrome's tab audio capture and Web Audio APIs. ⭐️ Customizable settings — Choose Light, Dark, or System themes, accent themes, fade duration, volume-control semantics, and conditionally duck only when current tab is playing. Ducker works with almost all modern sites as well as sites that use more advanced audio systems as long as it produces sound. Note: Deep audio control requires a one-time user interaction with the volume control for each tab. This is required by Chrome's security model for tab audio capture. Ducker is designed to make multitasking with audio in Chrome simpler, quieter, and more comfortable. Tags: audio ducking, volume ducking, audio control, volume control, audio ducker, volume ducker
