No wonder that with the start of the quarantine, Netflix became the leading platform for watching various shows and TV. The streaming service, which was popular before the covid, became even more popular after the movie theaters closed and self-isolation began. However, the more people use something, the more they notice the flaws in it.
How to increase sound on any device?
Now we will look at one of the most common and urgent problems encountered when using the Netflix app on various devices. The problem with too quiet soundtrack playback. The first would be mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. To fix the problem with bad sound, you need to uninstall the app and install it again. Here’s how to do it:
- First, go to settings from the home page.
- Next, go to the store.
- Find the option to Install Supported Apps on Your SD Card and turn it off (for Android devices).
- After turning off the function above, go to the home page again and go to AppStore.
- Once there, pay attention to the top right corner, there should be a magnifying glass icon. Click on it.
- In the search, type Netflix and confirm your choice.
- From the list of applications that appear, select Netflix.
- Once you get to the app page in the app store, select Download, Install or Get App.
- Once it’s downloaded, open it and check if the problem is resolved.
How to increase sound on Apple TV?
Apple TV is next in line. It’s a little simpler here. All you need to do to solve the problem in most cases is to change the sound settings on the TV a little bit. Here’s what you need to do:
- First of all, from the home page, go to Settings.
- Then go to Audio and Video.
- Go to Dolby.
- Select Auto to activate surround sound.
- Check if the problem with Netflix is resolved.
If for some reason the solution didn’t work, repeat steps one through three and turn off Auto. Check if the problem is solved again.
There are also cases when problems with the sound arise due to the use of additional devices to refine the sound. In such cases, it is necessary to adjust the audio output of the streaming device to stereo or linear PCM. Contact the manufacturer of the device you are using for this setting.
How to increase sound on Samsung Smart TV?
Now let’s move on to the most commonly used device with Netflix from the Samsung Smart TV list. The first possible way to solve the problem is to adjust the speaker settings. To do this, you need to:
1. Go to the menu using the menu button on the remote control.
2. Go to Sound
3. Select advanced settings (If there are none, then select Speaker Setup).
4. Change the auto volume to normal volume.
5. Check Netflix.
If this method doesn’t work, try troubleshooting the hardware connection. Maybe Netflix isn’t working properly due to problems with digital copy protection. To fix the problem you need to:
1. Check for sure you are using an HDMI cable.
2. Check the cable.
3. Check how it will work on another TV.
4. Check how the cable will work on other ports.
5. Check how the sound will be transmitted by the app when the new cable is plugged in.
6. Try plugging the cable in at the other ends, that is, the other way around.
If any of these helped, contact the supplier/manufacturer of the cable/TV. The problem in these cases is technical and it’s better not to solve it without the support of a specialist.
If you have any other stick or media player, do everything the same way as with Apple TV: In such cases, it’s necessary to adjust the audio output of the streaming device to stereo or linear PCM. Contact the manufacturer of the device for the help.
