Wale
Windows Audio Loudness Equalizer
Wale calculates appropriate volume of each app in real time from app’s average peak level and try to equalize peak levels of each app to desired level. You can configure several parameters such as action timing, period of average, volume recovery function, target peak level, and so on.
Wale is an open-source app which means it’s not verified with a commercial certification, hence, some sensitive AVs will alert Wale could be a virus. If you got such alert, please report to your AV provider or open a new issue. Anyway, You must run an app that you trusts only. So if you can’t trust Wale, you have to stop using it.

CAUTION!!!
Always pull down your speaker volume when update WALE or change your settings.
Before use
First
If you just want to control every apps manually, I recommend EarTrumpet which is much more stable, fancy, and easy to use. I also using it more than several years. You can download it on Microsoft store.
The purpose of Wale is automatic control of system wide sound output.
Second
If your sound card driver provides ‘Loudness Equalization‘ or its equivalent, please use it. Your driver is also much more reliable and easy to use. Many sound drivers support this feature these days. Most of them can be accessed by following way.
- Open Sound setting panel. Fastest way is Run(Win+R)
control mmsys.cpl sounds
- Double click to open your playback device.
- Switch to Enhancements tab.
- Check Loudness Equalization.
Accessing method varies with sound card vendors. On-board sound card users also can use this feature same way.

- WALE: Windows Audio Loudness Equalizer controls volume levels for different apps (TheWindowsClub)
Download Windows Speedup Tool to fix errors and make PC run faster
Did you like playing audio (music and videos) on your Windows computer? Then you must have faced a loudness issue sometimes. It is not just limited to Windows, but it happens on all devices and operating systems. Loudness issues can be roughly translated to having different loudness levels for different apps. This gets really annoying sometimes and leaves you with manually adjusting the volume every time you switch apps. But the tool we are talking about in this post can help you exactly with that. WALE controls each app’s volume separately and tries to bring them to the same loudness level.
WALE stands for Windows Audio Loudness Equalizer and the tool is good at doing that too. It is a simple standalone utility that sits in the system tray and does its job. The program does use some advanced terms related to audio, but that does not make this an advanced tool at all. But you must be wondering, how does it level the audio?
I would directly like to quote the developer:
It calculates appropriate volume from average peak level and lowers the volume immediately when the peak is exceeding desired level. You can configure several parameters such as action timing, period of average, volume recovery function, target peak level, and so on.
There are some serious calculations going in the background as a result of which, you get a consistent loudness level on your Windows computer.
WALE is quite simple to use as well. As I mentioned, it is available in a portable format and can be accessed from the system tray. The UI is minimalistic and gets the job done quickly. The program displays a list of applications that are running and have an audio output. You can use the checkbox corresponding to each one of them to control whether they are controlled by Wale.
Apart from that, you can read all the audio level values your computer is operating on. You can see what the original audio level is and on what audio level is the application operating on. You can also disable DetailView to get more concise and to-the-point information.
Moving on to the Config tab, you can control a few audio-related settings. The terms used here are a little advanced and it is recommended not to change them if you are not sure. But even if you change them, the default values are also displayed right there.
The program can automatically run at Windows startup and you can also adjust the window priority in settings. The log tab displays all logs generated and you can essentially view the levels that were set for different applications on your computer.
WALE is a great audio equalizer software for your computer. You must have experienced this feature already on your TV where all the channels have varying loudness. But WALE equalizes loudness on your computer. Now you can play audio from any application without having to manually adjust the volume every time. Click here to download WALE.

How do I control Windows Volume Mixer?
First, open Volume Mixer on your Windows 11/10 computer. Open Windows Search and type Volume Mixer or go to “Settings > System > Sound > Volume Mixer.” Here, you can control the volume of different apps on your system. For example, if you want to control the volume of Firefox, move its volume slider. You can also select the default input and output device for a particular app via Volume Mixer.
Does loudness equalization increase volume?
Loudness Equalization is the technique of adjusting volume by controlling the different frequency bands in an audio signal. Loudness Equalization does not increase volume. Instead, it aims to make the volume level constant across different sources of audio signals. For example, a user has to control the volume every time a commercial break occurs during a TV program. Today’s expensive HD-capable TVs can equalize volume so that the sound stays at a somewhat constant level.
That’s it.

Wale — это приложение для настольных компьютеров, которое контролирует громкость ваших приложений, чтобы сохранить баланс громкости между всеми утилитами. Софт способен отслеживать в реальном времени достигнутые пики громкости, чтобы контролировать громкость, сохраняя наиболее комфортное звучание для пользователя.
Wale способен отслеживать пики громкости в режиме реального времени, чтобы вы могли контролировать громкость для сохранения ваших любимых звуков. С помощью программы вы можете либо осуществлять общий системный контроль громкости, либо индивидуально изменять громкость каждого приложения.
В целом перед вами неплохой способ сделать ваш слух более комфортным, поскольку приложение выполняет автоматическую регулировку громкости, когда это необходимо на самом деле, а вам про это задумываться больше не нужно. Перед установкой обратите внимание, что некоторые антивирусные программы могут определить софт как вредоносной, ложные срабатывания.
Подробности:
- Управление громкостью в Windows не очень удобно и в этом смысле использование Wale может стать хорошей альтернативой, особенно для пользователей, которые используют несколько приложений, издающих звуки одновременно.
- Благодаря очень полезной функции, инструмент поддерживает сбалансированную громкость в вашей системе, избегая пиков громкости, которые предлагает определенное программное обеспечение.
- Несмотря на то, что пользователи могут устанавливать собственные настройки, меню программы не очень интуитивно понятно. Неясно, для чего нужна каждая из функций и даже каков будет результат изменения того или иного элемента.
- Чтобы эффективно использовать возможности приложения, пользователям придется изучить мен, пока они не найдут настройки, отвечающие их потребностям.
