Description:
As a new default setting, Stable Volume fixes bad audio mixing in YouTube 
videos ensuring an optimal viewing experience.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Weird audio mixing is a really annoying problem. How many times have you 
watched a video or movie where the audio sounds fine only for the dialog to 
be super quiet? 

 Google is helping audiences out by expanding YouTubes Stable Volume feature 
from the mobile app to Android TV and Google TV devices. It's a handy tool 
that automatically adjusts the volume of videos you watch," all without 
requiring you to pick up your remote, according to 9To5Google . 

That story explains that 'Stable Volume' ensures a consistent listening 
experience by continuously balancing the volume range between quiet and loud 
parts in a video. After installing YouTube version 4.40.303 on their Android 
TV display, they discovered the feature. 

If you select the gear icon whenever a video is playing, you should see 
Stable Volume as an option within the Settings menu. Itll sit in between 
Captions and the playback speed function. (Image credit: Google/9To5Google) 

Its turned on by default, but you can deactivate it at any time just by 
selecting it while watching content. 9To5Google recommends turning off Stable 
Volume while listening to music or playing a video with a detailed audio mix. 
Having it activated then could potentially mess with the sound quality. Plus, 
YouTube Music isn't on Android TV or Google TV hardware, so you won't have a 
dedicated space specifically for songs. 

We should mention that the official YouTube Help page for Stable Volume 
states it isnt available for all videos, nor will music be negatively 
affected. We believe this note is outdated because it also says the tool is 
exclusive to the YouTube mobile app. Its entirely possible the versions on 
Android TV and Google TV could behave differently. 

Be sure to keep an eye out for the patch when it arrives. It joins other 
YouTube on TV features launched in 2024 such as Multiview and the 
auto-generated key moments .
