This is not a UI direction, its just a missing feature. Most websites with audio have a volume slider.


sort by: page size:

Uh, didnt that site have a volume slider at one point? And shouldn't OP's have one in Firefox?

This is getting quite annoying.


Needs a volume slider.

Needs a volume slider.

I didn't really have an easy way to adjust the volume of a single tab in my browser without downloading an add-on to give each tab their own volume slider.

I've got multiple sources of audio coming from the browser since it has taken the place of so many applications. Generally I'd expect sites that sell/stream music to have a simple volume slider.


Lol, this was so so SO annoying when Soundcloud first started gaining traction. It was an insane pain in the ass to go to Volume Mixer -> Firefox -> Drag down the volume. And then drag it back up when I switched over to Youtube.

It seems like such a common-sense obvious simple-to-implement feature, it blows my mind it took years until we got a volume slider.


This is a constant gripe for me. If you're going to play audio on your website, you really should provide a volume control.

Hi thanks! 1.Not sure about a volume slider - always saw this as avoidable for simplicity and UX. 2. You absolutely right. Its a must. Was to complicated so far... we'll see

for gods sake please have a volume slider

Volume slider is useless to me. I adjust volume with the scroll gesture on my mouse pad.

None of these things that people are saying are the feature I want. I want a volume slider.

There's still no volume slider.

What is with audio apps on web refusing to add volume sliders? I see it on instagram, tiktok, podcast sites, this site, etc. I genuinely don't understand why I would want to manage the volume of one app with my system volume. Do people actually want everything to be the same volume?

Sorry about that! It's a player made by Omny, my podcast host. But I'm unhappy with them for other reasons too, so I'll be switching away soon — self-hosting, and using the native media player. So your volume slider wishes will be fulfilled. Thank you for the request.

Very cool. Might be a good idea to add a volume slider instead of just toggle, since that's often easier to get to than system volume.

lol - this is why Gnome doesn't have a volume slider:

At the very least, click to play/pause and a volume slider.

yeah agreed, i have an in with some of the devs on this - the volume slider was a secondary feature and is on the list last time i heard, stay tuned (haha) for the next release,

Why? You have global volume control, music players have it. To me it's the same as asking every website for brightness adjustment bar or font size control.

A video with no volume slider, really?
next
