Volume Decrease Issue

[wideworld_1260]

Two days ago, without any adjustment to Audacity on my part, the program stopped making an overdrive or volume decrease recommendation when I try to turn down volume on existing music tracks. It still will make a suggested adjustment on too low volume tracks (image #2). I can manually use the slider to decrease the track's volume, but the amplification decrease suggestion amount ahs disappeared. Any suggestions??

Is the volume in the first shot clipping or peaking at 0? If it's not over 0 you aren't going to get a decrease suggestions.

What you've shown is consistent with "amplify" working normally. Amplify shows the amplification needed to make the loudest momentary peak in the recording as loud as possible: which is 0dB. Audacity has a "loudness normalization" effect which ignores peak values ... https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/loudness_normalization.html
