Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] Currently, when using jellyfin 10.9.3 alongside media player v1.10.1 on windows 11, I am playing files on stereo headphones or speakers. As a result, dialogue audio is extremely quiet. There are new settings in jellyfin 10.9 to address this such as different downmix algorithms, although they seem to have no affect in media player probably due to the fact the audio isn't being transcoded. I've tested in the web player and it works perfectly. Note that even setting max allowed channels to 2 in media player has no affect. Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. In an ideal world, it would be great to have the ability to transcode audio to stereo particularly if listening on a system with only two channels. The web interface supports this, and it would be great to see something similar in media player if possible. see #11774, and other comments for context. let me know if you need more info and I would be happy to link further discussions. Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

As a workaround... Settings -> Client Settings -> Manual MPV Configuration.

af="format=channels=stereo,acompressor=ratio=4,loudnorm"

Would be real nice if there was an option to apply this config if the content is > 2.0 (5.1, 7.1 etc) as it does not require the server to transcode and does everything client side.

The suggestion solved my problem about volume.

Thanks for this, it solved my problem as well. I'll leave this open as it would be great to have support for this config as you mention.
