Documentation

Technical reference and usage notes.

Overview

IIUO: Audio Booster is a Chromium Manifest V3 extension that uses the Web Audio API to amplify the volume of any HTML5 media element on a page. It creates a GainNode per media element and routes audio through it before reaching the browser's audio output.

Browser Compatibility

Works on all Chromium-based browsers that support Manifest V3 and the Web Audio API:

  • Google Chrome 88+
  • Microsoft Edge 88+
  • Brave Browser
  • Opera (Chromium-based)
  • Vivaldi

Audio Architecture

Each media element is wired into a dedicated audio graph:

HTMLMediaElement
↓ MediaElementSourceNode
↓ GainNode
↓ AudioContext.destination

Gain is calculated as boostPercent / 100. A 50ms linear ramp prevents audio artifacts on every change.

Permissions Used

  • activeTab — access the current tab
  • scripting — inject content scripts
  • storage — persist boost settings
  • tabs — open extension website link

Best Practices

  • Start at 100% and increase gradually
  • Use presets for quick switching between levels
  • Toggle off when not needed to restore native audio
  • Reset to 100% before switching tabs for consistency

Notes & Limitations

  • Does not work on chrome:// or edge:// internal pages
  • Some DRM-protected streams may not be boosted
  • Very high gain levels may cause distortion on low-quality audio
  • The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any user data

FAQ

Common questions answered.

Any Chromium-based browser that supports Manifest V3 — Chrome 88+, Edge 88+, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi. Firefox is not supported as it uses a different extension API.

Download the ZIP, extract it, go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode, click Load Unpacked, and select the extracted folder. Full steps are in the Installation Guide above.

It works on any website that uses standard HTML5 <audio> or <video> elements. It does not work on browser internal pages (chrome://) or some DRM-protected streams.

Yes. That is the core purpose of this extension. The Web Audio API GainNode allows amplification beyond the browser's native 100% volume limit, up to 600% (gain 6.0).

Yes. It has a minimal footprint — no background polling, no unnecessary DOM queries, and no third-party libraries. The audio graph is created once per media element and reused.

Very high gain levels can cause audio clipping and distortion, especially on low-quality source audio. Starting at 100% and increasing gradually helps you find the right level without damaging your speakers or hearing.

No. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Your boost settings are saved locally in your browser's storage only.
