SoundFixer
Helps you fix annoying sound problems on sites like YouTube: audio in one channel only, too quiet or too loud.
(Unfortunately, this extension does not work on all websites because of cross-domain issues — but it does work on YouTube!)

Works extremely effectively for youtube, have expericenced a few hiccups but nothing major. Not persistant on every website it functions with, so may have to adjust audio repeatedly. it is persistant on youtube though - only needing to adjust audio if the individual video is too quiet or too loud. Also doesnt work on every website, but the description already tells you that.
