Unfortunately, this is not a good standard way to do it, and the ideal way to do it is to get the loudness meter and see an absolute reading that will apply across any different device. What I have done over the years is just to test different clips that I record and play them on different devices.

The question is how do you get this just right? You want to make sure you’re just about the right loudness, but you’re not too loud and going way over, but you’re not too quiet and way under. This is very important for your user experience, whether you’re recording or live streaming because if your volume is too loud, it will be obnoxious and clip, and not sound good, and if it’s too quiet you’ll be difficult to hear and people will have to turn the volume up for you and that will be annoying. It’s a free VST audio plugin that you can put into OBS that will allow you to see exactly where your levels are at. You can check your loudness on OBS to see if your volume is set in a good range by using the Youlean Loudness Meter 2.
