Does anyone know how to normalize audio on mpv, it's really annoying having to turn down the volume everytime there are explosions and turning it up when they speak.

One of these:

mpv --af=lavfi=dynaudnorm [...]
mpv --af=lavfi=loudnorm [...]

just search the issue tracker (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3979). there are various ways with the help of ffmpeg filters. some examples that might still work.

af=drc=2
af=lavfi=[dynaudnorm=g=5:f=250:r=0.9:p=0.5]
af=lavfi=[loudnorm=I=-16:TP=-3:LRA=4]

The first one just disabled my audio completely, the second one works but I think third one sounds best. Thank you so much.
