On Windows, right click the sound icon, go into sound options, playback, double click on your default playback device, and go to the Enhancements tab.

LOUDNESS EQUALIZATION

is fucking awesome and more people should be aware of it. It’s baked into Windows 10!

Does that work if using VLC?

Edit - For W10, right click the sound icon and choose Open Sound Settings

Under Choose Your Output Device, click Device Properties

On the right side of the screen, click Additional Device Properties

You'll find the enhancements tab there

If you are running that VLC on Windows, yes!

It is a setting on the sound device, which VLC uses.

Indeed! Like the other poster says, it’s ALL THE SOUNDS.

Turn it off for games and music*, but I turn it on for EVERYTHING else. It makes things bearable to watch! IT’S MAGIC

vlc has a compressor which is what "loudness equalization" uses.
