limiter

About this tag
Discussions about the limiter tag on WindowsForum.com focus on audio settings in Windows that may automatically reduce volume. Users report issues with sound levels dropping unexpectedly, suspecting a built-in limiter or automatic gain control (AGC) in the Windows audio system. These concerns often arise in the context of digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, where consistent volume is critical. The tag covers troubleshooting such audio behavior, exploring whether Windows has a hidden limiter affecting playback, and seeking solutions to disable or adjust these settings for stable audio output.

  1. Windows 10 Is there a sound setting in windows that auto lowers volume?

    Hi, Is there a limiter or AGC built into the Windows audio system that automatically lowers volume? I'm working in abelton live and every few seconds the volume of different audio tracks seems to be automatically lowering, someone suggested it might be a limiter or AGC. Any info appreciated...
