The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I listen to alot of audiobooks, which are split up in multiple short files(3-4minute audio files)

I use the playlist in VLC to play them all, however I've noticed VLC will always add a minor fade in effect when a new file starts, resulting in a lower than normal volume for the first second or so of each file.
It gets a little annoying, as the files are sometimes cut mid sentence.

Does anyone know which option i can Uncheck/disable to prevent that? can't seem to find one that applies.

Thanks

This question has been asked several times in this forum, and nobody ever responds. Hopefully this time is different!

This is such a frustrating bug (yes, it is clearly a BUG, not a feature). It makes it really annoying to listen to music using VLC, because every track is automatically faded in. I wish someone had an answer, because I am about to go back to listening to music on crappy itunes, and I don't want to do that.

VLC does not support fade-in or fade-out. VLC does not apply any fade-in during start, Your question has no answers because nobody understands your problem.

Cannot stand this type of answer.
If the problem didn't exist there would have been no OP in the first place.

Yes this does happen, it's happening to me on an old version of VLC that I can't upgrade because the machine in question's Ubuntu can't be upgraded.
It's extremely annoying and I have tried a couple of options which have had no effect:
* Turning off peak protection
* Setting default replay gain to 0.00

Perhaps it's an error in the sound-driver, but odd that VLC wouldn't take this functionality over since it properly takes everything else.

I don't care if you can't stand it. That does not make it any less true.

And it looks like you have enabled compression, which is not enabled by default.

It was peak protection.
You're just hissy for no reason.

Hi,
I came here because I had unnecessary fade-in in VLC when skipping/seeking through an audio file.
After a lot of effort I realized it was actually a "feature" of Jabra headphones, not a VLC setting or feature.
With an ordinary headphones the problem does not exist for me.

Have had this issue for years but never really thought about it, across multiple headphones and on speakers. Peak protection fixed it for some reason, maybe old vlc bug but ended up just updating to the latest VLC anyways.

The question did have an answer, and multiple people understood the problem that was being experienced. Strange that a dev was the one being sassy/unhelpful while strangers gave help, usually it's the other way around lol. Kinda funny, even if it was a long time ago.
