Windows Audio Loudness Equalizer
Wale calculates appropriate volume of each app in real time from app's average peak level and try to equalize peak levels of each app to desired level. You can configure several parameters such as action timing, period of average, volume recovery function, target peak level, and so on.
Wale is an open-source app which means it's not verified with a commercial certification, hence, some sensitive AVs will alert Wale could be a virus. If you got such alert, please report to your AV provider or open a new issue. Anyway, You must run an app that you trusts only. So if you can't trust Wale, you have to stop using it.
Wale is distributed under MIT license, however it's restricted to my own codes. Icons and 3rd party libraries are NOT included in this license. They are copyrighted on their right holders.
If you just want to control every apps manually, I recommend EarTrumpet which is much more stable, fancy, and easy to use. I also using it more than several years. You can download it on Microsoft store.
The purpose of Wale is automatic control of system wide sound output.
If your sound card driver provides 'Loudness Equalization' or its equivalent, please use it. Your driver is also much more reliable and easy to use. Many sound drivers support this feature these days. Most of them can be accessed by following way.
- Open Sound setting panel. Fastest way is Run(Win+R)
control mmsys.cpl sounds - Double click to open your playback device.
- Switch to Enhancements tab.

Accessing method varies with sound card vendors. On-board sound card users also can use this feature same way.
