## Description

The Audio Equalizer and Amplifier Chrome extension empowers you to adjust audio equalization for web media elements globally. With controls over multiple frequency bands including bass, treble, and intermediate ranges (60 Hz to 16 KHz), you can fine-tune your listening experience beyond simple volume adjustments. The toolbar provides quick access to about 12 preset equalizer profiles or allows you to create your own customized settings.

Additionally, the extension includes pre-amplification and global volume controls for each profile, enabling comprehensive audio management from a convenient popup window. Designed for users seeking precise control over audio playback in their browser, it supports profile-based settings and includes helpful features like FAQ guidance and bug reporting via its GitHub page.

## Review summary

Users agree the add-on provides working EQ and amplification features, but multiple reviewers report serious problems: runaway volume (especially when seeking), audio artifacts (pops/stutter/distortion), and site-specific failures where audio stops. Several people also note the extension can auto-enable or behave unpredictably, making it unreliable despite its useful equalizer functions.

### Pros

- Provides an equalizer that can improve sound/equalize audio (users report it works in short runs)
- Includes amplification/volume-boost capability beyond default browser levels
- Offers basic sound-quality controls not found in other extensions (unique functionality)

### Cons

- Causes uncontrolled volume increases (often when seeking or over time), sometimes ramping to very loud levels
- Introduces audio glitches — popping, stuttering or distorted/cracked sound
- Breaks audio or prevents sound on some websites/video players (site-specific compatibility issues)
- Extension may enable itself during playback or behave unpredictably (settings not always respected)
