FAQ: What's volume leveling?

Roon analyzes your music files using the ReplayGain algorithm. Roon also uses volume leveling information provided by TIDAL and Qobuz for their streaming content. If volume leveling is enabled, Roon will automatically adjust the volume to maintain a consistent loudness from track to track.

To enable volume leveling click the volume icon in the footer, then click the settings (gear) icon.

Volume leveling is under Zone Options, use the pulldown menu to select volume handling options. You can find more details about how Roon implements volume leveling in our Volume Leveling article.
