Auto reset sound volume output level

My OS is Pop! OS. Using 'Tidal' as a web based music streaming service and I play vids on YouTube. Every time a new song or video starts, or when I skip, rewind or do anything like that, it auto resets the volume level output in my sound settings to about 75 to 80 % of the max possible level. So basically, I have to adjust each and every new song by hand, it is infuriating. I block facebooknet in Umatrix and firebaseinstallation googleapis as well as google tag manager but nothing else. That's on Tidal, similarly I do not block essential cookies on YouTube, so I don't think that is the problem. I have a hunch that the answer is somewhere in about:config. If this is intentional, then I'm giving up hope. Thank you.

Seems I solved it, at least for Tidal, by switching off " Loudness Normalization ". I had checked "about:config" in FF, where media.default_volume was "1" before that. All in all, the mystery has deepened, because if it still does this with youtube videos, (it seems not to), then how does tidal settings affect youtubevideos? If it doesn't, the same question arises (because it did). We'll see. Hope this helps the next person searching. Thanks for your help anyway, I will mark this as solved tomorrow, just to be sure. Kind regards.

In about:config media.default_volume 1.0 media.volume_scale 1.0 So it can't be that either. Am I talking to myself? Are there still people here or is FF truly dead?

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run it from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply. It did not make a difference. I switched off recommended performance settings and hardware acceleration in ff while we're at it. Also did not help the matter, a techie from system76 had suggested it. Kind regards
