Control the sound of every tab
Adjust volume, equalize audio, and route a different output device for each tab, all from a single extension.
Features
Full control, tab by tab
Every feature works independently per tab, without affecting the rest of your browsing.
Independent volume per tab
Raise or lower one tab's volume without touching the others, and adjust the global volume for all of them at once.
Per-tab audio output
Send each tab's audio to a different device: headphones for one, speakers for another.
Equalizer profiles
Nine ready-made profiles for music, podcasts, and movies, tuned for different kinds of content.
Custom profiles
Save your own equalizer settings and apply them to any tab or domain with one click.
Spatial audio
Widen the soundstage and adjust the effect's intensity for a more immersive listen.
Auto leveler
Smooths out sudden volume spikes so nothing catches you off guard at full blast.
Loudness normalization
Evens out perceived volume between different tabs, so you don't have to readjust every time you switch.
Sound effects
Bass boost, clear voice, stereo widener, and crossfeed for headphones, toggled per tab.
Spectrum visualizer
Watch the audio level and frequency spectrum in real time as you adjust the sound.
Keyboard shortcuts
Mute everything, or raise and lower the global volume, without touching the mouse, from any tab.
Optional sync
Sync your preferences across computers using your own Chrome account, if you choose to.

FAQ
What people ask us most
Yes. Tab Sound Control is completely free, with no paid tiers, subscriptions, or locked features.
No. All processing happens locally on your computer through the browser's own audio features. Audio is never recorded, saved to disk, or sent to any server.
Yes. You can turn on processing for several tabs at the same time and adjust each independently, plus a global volume that affects all of them.
Yes, whenever your browser and operating system support it. You can pick a different output device for each tab — headphones for one, speakers for another.
Some of the browser's own internal pages don't allow any extension to capture their audio, by Chrome's own design. Capture can also only start from the tab that's currently active.
Because of a browser limitation, output device names are only revealed after granting microphone access once, from the Options page. That signal is never listened to, recorded, or processed.
From the "Reset settings" button in the popup or the extension's Options page. See the support guide for the full step-by-step.
