Sound volume level changes by itself on macbook pro m1

Does anyone has his issue? The voice volume keeps changing either increase the volume or decrease by itself..

I can't use my Macbook pro m1 16 inch at night because of that.. it scares everyone in the room.. there is no Pacific time..

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4

If it's not happening on other programs such as OBS/QuickTime/VLC, but it's happening online when you are on a browser, it's the browser.


For Chrome: --> new tab --> type "chrome://flags" --> disable "webRTCs" and "...wideEchoCancellation-->relaunch


For Brave: same process except for type "brave://flags"


For Edge: same process except for type "edge://flags"


These are all chromium-based browsers, I do not use Safari.


I don't understand why chromium browsers decided to have these experimental features turned on as defaults. I hope this helps.

This is driving me mad. I have volume at a comfortable level and then something like a video in a webpage etc will play and it will jump my volume way up and blast me. I can't see anywhere to solve this.


This isn't a minor issue, I'm on the verge of dumping this mac over it. I get blasted at high volume so often I'm abouve to punch this thing. Why is this so hard to solve, why is it happening in the first place, why we apple let any part of the system just crank the volume like this? maddening.
