Lady Grey Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Does anyone know if there is a way to stop the volume on a TV from blasting when music etc is played versus being way too quiet when it’s just people talking etc.For context, I’ve got a newborn and a five year old and the one thing bringing me some happiness right now is watching a movie at the end of the (very long) day with the five year old but the volume levels are doing my head in. For reference, it happens on our old Samsung TV and our new Hisense one (no speakers or anything fancy like that). It means I’m constantly turning the volume up and down so that I can hear them talking but the sound doesn’t pulverise my very tired and grumpy brain when music or action sequences happen!

WallofDoDo Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I think in the settings you can adjust the background sounds. Not sure where,, but I noticed the same when we first got a samsung. Sorry not much help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgirl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 There should be options on your samsung that you can change the audio to speaker, music, news etc. The same thing annoys me and I think I found that the 'news' setting was the most balanced.

Mooguru Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Oh my freaking lord, this issue is driving me nuts! I'm constantly adjusting the volume. Music perfect volume 7.Talking volume 16+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonMyrtle Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I find the audio settings that say “clear voice” or something like that are the best for quietening the background noise. Or, invest in a good pair of headphones. Or watch with subtitles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s awful isn’t it! Currently watching a movie with my daughter and I can’t stand it! Loving the movie but my poor head from being blasted by the music!! It’s honestly given me a headache.

Lurker Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It depends how the audio is compressed. Some shows are much worse than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley225 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I get annoyed as the tv is loud enough but the stuff recorded esp voices is too low on my DVR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Peach Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 But even when watching movies in the cinemas the music is way louder than the actors voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgirl Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 But even when watching movies in the cinemas the music is way louder than the actors voices. Yes,Its to due with the bass. So trying to balance it makes it a little more bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorineTheCatLover Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 We have a Samsung tv and find that different platforms have different volumes. SBS is quieter than Netflix that is quieter than Disney but change back to Foxtel and some channels are quiet but free to air through Foxtel is ear blasting. We have a soundbar and bass speaker but that really makes no difference tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooguru Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Has anyone had a play in their settings and had any luck? I did. The clear voice option is greyed out but there was a different setting about auto adjusting volume which I've turned on and I haven't noticed the issue as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitiri Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 It’s weird isn’t it. Our TV generally sits on say lvl 10, Disney has to go up to around 30. Minecraft on PS4 is too loud and needs to go down to about 3. Other PS4 games are not like that at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Givingitanothergo Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I can’t stand this! I have anxiety and loud noises set me off. Why oh why does this happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Kids were watching LEGO masters on catch up today - some of the ads were so loud, but to turn it down meant you couldn’t hear the show itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
