Low volume in Brave, works on other browsers perfectly

Description of the issue: When I open youtube and watch a video the volume is really low.
How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Open YouTube
2. Search for a video
3. Open the video and listen to the sound

Expected result: Really low sound from YouTube video

Brave Version( check About Brave): [Version 1.13.82 Chromium: 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information: Checked volume mixer and Brave is maxed out, still having the prbolem.

Hi @badr, Welcome to Community!
We have a few threads talking about audio output in youtube, can you check them out and see if they solve your issue:

Howto: Fix low sound volume on Youtube or others

So I was getting low sound volume on Youtube, Twitch etc and could find nothing to fix. I went to brave://flags and switched the #try-supported-channel-layouts flag to enabled and volume is now fine. Hope this helps someone!

Low audio output on YouTube

The problem is resolved. I tried to take many single steps so I could discover the cause, but I don’t know what finally fixed the problem. I did the following: 1. Uninstalled Brave with program that is supposed to remove all related files. 2. Installed a new copy, with no bookmarks installed and the problem remained in my original profile. 3. Created a new profile and as before found YouTube volumes good in the new profile 4. I opened my original and the new profile and opened to “settings”…

Low volume on media playback (Youtube, Soundcloud, Pandora, etc)

Thank you @Mattches for responding . I tried your suggestion and it did not work. I spent a little more time on this and I really don’t know whats wrong. I did however uninstall NVIDIA audio drivers & disable/enable the windows audio drivers. Good news is that the problem is not happening in Edge and Brave at this exact moment. So I’m cautiously optimistic that the problem is fixed.

Thank you but the first thread about turning #try-supported-channel-layouts flag on, but I can’t find the flag itself.

Oh sorry, then ignore that one, it looks like it may be a depreciated flag.

Tried every solution, none worked,

@Mattches Can you help?

@badr,
Can you please try creating a new browser profile (Menu --> Create profile) and see if Youtube’s volume still sounds lower than it should when using the new profile?
