A Netflix devotee has provided a straightforward solution to the vexing audio issue, which has been vexing viewers for some time.

He continued, ‘If you’ve been viewing Netflix and have had difficulty hearing dialogue over the background music and sound effects, it may be because Netflix believes you have surround sound.’

Matty advised that if you do not have surround sound, you may want to alter the settings, which is simple.

Simply halt the video you’re watching and look at the video’s bottom to determine the language you’re viewing it in.

You will see an icon labeled ‘other’, and the default audio setting will be displayed as ‘English Original’ or any other language followed by ‘5.1’.

Matty explained that this indicates Netflix believes you have five speakers and one subwoofer.

Therefore, if you do not have surround sound, you should select “English [original].” Now that the background music has subsided, I can hear him speak.’

Since its upload, the video has been viewed nearly 10 million times and saved over 250,000 times.

The viral video has received hundreds of thousands of comments, one of which reads, “WHAT?!?! This is life-altering.”

Someone else added, “THANK YOU SOOOOO FREAKING MUCH… I despised the audio problem,’ and a third participant merely added, ‘It worked!’

One user inquired, ‘What if you use a sound bar?’

Matty responded, ‘It ought to be all right, depending on the soundbar. You can always experiment with different audio parameters to determine what you prefer.

In the same video, the creator revealed a website called Netflix-codes.com which reveals secret Netflix category codes that won’t appear on the usual website or app, such as ‘satires’ or ‘Cult horror movies’.
