Poor sound quality

Hello, i'm having problem with the latest version. The downloaded mp3 is with poor quality. I've tryed with different settings and changed bitrate but without success. Please check it. Thanks

Wow you were right. It is indeed very degraded.

Would you please take a look at the upper right-hand corner of VDownloader's main window and tell me which version you're running?

HMMMM...I'v tryed with FLAC and audio it's ok. I have problem only with MP3 format. The version that i use it's 4.3.2124.0,

Which MP3 format did you use?

There are the ones in "Advanced -> General Audio -> MP3 -> XX KBps", and there's also "Simple -> Music" which defaults to MP3 format.

I use Advanced / General Audio / MP3 / 192 KBps

Hahaha...now i'v tryed with Simple / Music and sound is great.Only with Advanced is the problem...Can you check it?

Yeah that was what I was wondering.

Definitely, we will look into it. Would you please use the Simple -> Music format in the meantime? It should be fixed in the next update.

Thank you Diogo for your support. Because i'm using 192 KBps format, the Simple / Music is doing the same so i will use it. Best regards :)

Yes,

On some videos YouTube has 192 kbps audio and in some they only have 128kbps as best quality (unfortunately they don't have any videos with 320kbps audio even if the uploader uploads the video with 320kbps audio they downgrade it in order to save space on their servers - maybe in the future they will provide that), so if the video has a 192kbps audio stream VDownloader will pick that one up and download it when you use the SImple -> Music format.

In this case, it doesn't make a single difference :-) Have an awesome weekend!

You also...Greetings from Macedonia.

Did you try it? Every song that i try to download is the same. When i try to download with 192 kbps or 320 kbps the quality is the same (low) but MB are different.

Hi Ivan,

Yes, I did download that video using the "Simple -> Music" output format, and ended up with a 192 kbps audio file.

You can see the technical details about the file I downloaded here: https://gyazo.com/bca640e9055218a7004c88e3ef023bef

So the sound is ok?

I believe so. I noticed that the volume was a tiny bit lower (without changing my speakers volume of course), but the quality of the audio itself wasn't degraded.

Maybe your hearing is more sensitive than mine, so I'll send you my file so you can listen to it and tell me what's your opinion. Please download it from here: http://bit.ly/ZaraLarssonForIvanRistevski

Hello. No, it is the same. I usualy download audio with 192 kbps, but few days ago this problem ocured. I think this happened after last update. I will try to downgrade the version and see what will happen. Best regards. 

Hi Ivan,

Can you please pass me the URL so I can try and reproduce this issue?

Dear Ivan,

What happens if you try to download the same video using the "Advanced -> General Audio -> MP3 -> 320 kbps" output format? Does the quality get better?

Best Regards,

Diogo Alves @ VDownloader
