Change volume settings in Windows Media Player
You have several options for controlling volume in Windows Media Player, including adjusting the volume level, muting, and reducing volume differences either within a song or between songs. Remember that other software and hardware controls can affect the volume and audio effects settings in the Player. If you encounter problems, try adjusting your Windows audio settings, the physical controls on your speakers, subwoofer, or amplifier, or the settings in any other software used to configure the sound card in your computer.
For information about how to adjust the speaker volume in Windows, see Windows Help and Support.

If your songs play at different volume levels, you can have the Player level (also called normalize) the volume for you so that you don't have to manually adjust the volume when a new song starts. The Player does so by reading a volume-leveling value in a file, and then adjusting the volume accordingly during playback. Volume leveling is only available with files that are in Windows Media or MP3 format and contain a volume-leveling value. This value is automatically added to the files that are created during ripping. In addition, you can add this value to files on your computer that you have added to your Player library. Adding the value does not change either the quality of a file or how the file plays in other players or portable media devices. To turn on volume-leveling, do the following:
-
Click the arrow below the Now Playing tab, point to Enhancements, and then click Crossfading and Auto Volume Leveling.
-
Click the Turn on Auto Volume Leveling link.
-
To add the volume-leveling value to a file, play the entire file. The Player will then level the volume for that file whenever you play it in the future.
