User Reviews

SoundFixer is generally well-liked for boosting volume and solving some playback audio issues, and is seen as a helpful browser tool. However, its lack of per-site presets and persistence across tabs, windows, and episodes, together with inconsistent results across content, limit its reliability.

Pros

Effective volume boosting that users are happy with.
Fixes some video playback audio issues (e.g., initial silence on YouTube when using mono).
Overall helpful extension with positive sentiment from multiple users.

Cons

Lack of per-site/domain presets and no cross-window/tab persistence; users must reapply settings across pages and episodes.
Inconsistent effectiveness across content; not reliably leveling volume for all videos (notably Netflix episodes).
Some users report minimal or no noticeable improvement in practice.

Is SoundFixer Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SoundFixer requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows retrieval of a user’s browsing history, presenting a notable privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

SoundFixer has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
