netflix - low sound?

[steveo3002]

anyone else suffer from low sound output when watching Netflix

normal tv we watch at level 8-10...Netflix needs 30+

our phones /ipad dont have enough volume to hear it comfortably , is there anything i can do ? settings in Netflix or something

I have exactly the opposite problem, Netflix twice the volume of Sky/Amazon.

Is it all the sounds, including the louder noises and effects?
I had a problem with the dialogue being far to quiet. If I turned it up loud enough to hear properly the explosions were shaking the furniture.
Found it was due to the dynanic range of volumes in the audio track. Speech is much quieter than explosions so they make it that way in the movie. Fixed the problem by enabling a dynamic range limiting option on my amplifier.

Same here netflix and prime is 18-30 where as terrestrial is 35-38.

Interestingly BBC iplayer is somewhere in the middle.

Netflix is always like this for me.

One thing to check is that the sound type is right for your setup. All Netflix stuff defaults to
5.1 so if your using the TV speaker you have to change it to U.K. non 5.1 (can’t remember what it’s called) especially to hear dialogue clearly imo.

Do you watch Netflix through a Sky Q box? I don't have Netflix myself but I watch a lot of YouTube via Sky Q and noticed a lot of volume difference between that and Sky. I got one of those Sky sound boxes and it's levelled out. It's designed to integrate with Sky Q and does a good job of keeping the volume levels the same between Sky and the various apps. It also adjusts for vocals and loud background sounds so even in the same app, you're not constantly going up and down the volume to hear people or quieten explosions, etc.

not through skybox ...just on tv or android phones , not just effects the whole sound is just very low , the tv has enough headroom to turn it up alot , the 2x phones dont have enough extra via the built in speaker or any headphones ive tried , so bad on the phones you need to be in a silent room to hear it , anywhere out and about in public its too low to hear

Same issue watching through our Panny TV.

Bloody annoying constantly having to change the default settings too.
