I’ve noticed that Plex will fade-in any audio that is suddenly loud or start loudly. The fade in will be very short, but it is also very noticeable. I can’t find where there may be a setting for this. I can play the song on any other media player and it will play correctly.
I’m using the web client in Chrome. I found out what the issue is - not Plex. I was comparing listening to audio through Plex on my desktop, through my TV/Monitor and comparing the audio played on my mobile device media player (same files). I found that my TV had a default audio volume control setting. I turned it off and it plays fine now. Sorry for the false alarm!
