4.9.0-kali4-amd64 which is a rolling Debian

The filter drc was removed in mpv. Recent versions of SMPlayer use a different filter, so this problem is already fixed.

Already fixed? Can you please tell me how to normalize the sound? I can't.

Install the latest version of SMPlayer (17.7), select the option Audio ->Filters -> Volume normalization. Now SMPlayer will use the acompressor filter instead of drc, as mpv recommends.

[Dirk Fieldhouse]

The Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 LTS version of mpv is 0.14, which doesn't have acompressor in its ffmpeg library, according to the smplayer log. Please add a dependency to the PPA package and ideally add a compatible mpv build.

[Ricardo Villalba]

I added mpv 0.27 for xenial to the smplayer PPA.
