Volume boost from 0% to 600% using the Web Audio API GainNode — works on any website with audio or video.
Lightweight toolbar popup with a large volume slider, percentage display, and real-time dB meter.
Persistent Chrome side panel with full advanced controls accessible while browsing.
3-band parametric equalizer: Bass (250 Hz), Mid (1 kHz), and Treble (4 kHz) with ±12 dB range per band.
6 instant EQ preset chips: Bass Boost, Vocal Clarity, Loudness, Podcast, Music, Flat.
Real-time dB meter — color-coded bar with numeric dB readout, updated 10× per second via AnalyserNode.
Named preset system — save, load, and delete custom volume + EQ configurations with user-defined names.
Per-site settings — AudioMax remembers volume and EQ preferences per domain and applies them automatically on return visits.
Anti-clipping compressor — built-in DynamicsCompressorNode reduces distortion at high boost levels.
Settings sync across devices using chrome.storage.sync.
Side panel Sites tab showing all domains with saved per-site overrides.
AudioMax icon set at 16×16, 48×48, and 128×128 px.

Requires Chrome 114 or later (Side Panel API).
Works on all desktop platforms where Chrome is supported: Windows, macOS, Linux.
Audio processing runs entirely in the browser — no data leaves your device.
A small number of sites with non-standard audio routing may not respond to volume boost; this is a Web Audio API limitation, not an extension bug.
