Sound Quality

[zingo1327]

The sound quality on TV and films leaves a lot to be desired.You practically need sub-titles for American movies nowadays.
Much as I like him the sound on the Jools Holland TV programme is terrible.
Most outdoor British concerts have sound engineers aged about 5 years old (the sound seems to be set up by a child) it's absolutely ghastly.
Compare this to Swedish singer Helen Sjoholm's concerts and you'll see what i mean.In a concert hall or in the open air you can hear every word she sings.Check Helen out on you tube
Go Swedish sound engineers..you rock.

I agree. I have put this down to being hard of hearing, I even have a sound bar, but it does not help much. However, I can hear most, not all of the newsreaders very well. I had to give
up on an American film this afternoon, as I could not understand a word. Lots of British plays not clear either.

ive resorted to headphones for most films

Apparently you've just got to tune in to the dialogue

Yea right

The new slimline television sets have tiny rubbish speakers compared with the old models. You are now expected to buy an auxiliary system such as a soundbar which can cost more than the set itself. Progress ? no, a rip-off.

We run our main TV through our Hi Fi Multi-speaker system, it's brilliant sound quality.

I think that the sentiments of the OP are that you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to be able to hear clearly whatever is broadcast....and I agree.

[Khandro]

It also pre-supposes that your hi-fi is near you TV.

I've never experienced such a problem to be honest, the sound from my LG flat screen is very good, no need for external speakers.

There's got to be something wrong at the production stage when the rustling of clothing drowns out the actors' voices, as happened in an episode of Happy Valley that my wife was watching last night.

The chair well take your clothes off in another room if the rustling upsets the wife.
