GGKeeper App Adjusts PC Game Volume At Launch
The tool targets a specific annoyance of PC gaming, the blast of audio before settings load, and does it without correcting the game's dynamics, which separates it from Windows' existing Loudness Equalization.

Engineer Naito released the Windows 11 app GGKeeper on October 11 as a free beta. The app adjusts a PC game's volume in the Windows volume mixer, evens out volume differences between games, and starts at a lower level right after launch before raising it to the target. A Chat Mode lowers game volume further for conversation. It does not modify game files or memory.
GGKeeper is an unsigned beta, so Windows warnings may appear during installation or on first launch. Naito, who produces music and video and builds sound-related software, also released the game Hibiki no Niwa on unityroom in June, along with MineStats Viewer for OBS and DawAudioStreamer. GGKeeper works through the Windows volume mixer, which means it does not touch game files or memory and does not record or transmit game audio. Individual games can be excluded. Because the app leaves the dynamics of the sound alone, the balance a player has set is maintained.
