So since the last week I began my journey to moving away from Windows 11 to NixOS, and to make things even more interesting im doing it on a gaming Acer laptop with bad linux support (AN517-41). So far my main issue is on default Gnome + pipewire setup sound on youtube is noticeable lower than it is on Windows 11. Also noticed it on Telegram Desktop app, so I guess the problem is in pipewire. Anyway I can’t find a way to either “over amplify” or increase the value that pipewire implies as max volume. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I recorded same piece of video playing on Windows 11 and NixOS with my smartphone (placed it near laptop and didn’t move it until recording was done on both systems), and recording confirms that im not mad, max volume youtube video playback in windows is like 2 times louder than on my NixOS system.
P.S.
As a workaround I currently found an “over amplify” method using pamixer
for situations when I can’t hear a thing:
pamixer --allow-boost --set-volume 150 # or any other value in percents
