The Amazon Fire TV Stick setting you should try for better audio
Dialogue is an important part of any movie or TV show, but it isn't always as clear as we would like. Amazon's Fire TV Stick has a solution.
When watching movies or TV shows on your Fire TV Stick, you may experience difficulty understanding the dialogue due to the increasing trend of modern microphones capturing softer, more natural-sounding performances. This can lead to unclear speech mixed in with loud action scenes. To improve the audio experience, consider enabling the Dialogue Boost feature.
This function, available on Amazon Fire TV devices, enhances speech clarity without increasing the overall volume. It works by using AI models trained on extensive speech data to separate voices from background sounds, adjusting the audio mix accordingly. The feature comes in several levels - Low, Medium, High, Enhanced, and Heightened - allowing you to choose the appropriate setting based on the genre of the content you are watching.
For action-packed films or fast-paced dramas, a higher level of dialogue enhancement may be necessary. While this feature debuted for Prime Video subscribers in 2022, it has since been expanded to work with various streaming services. Moreover, similar voice enhancement capabilities are available on other modern TVs and soundbars, such as Samsung soundbars' Voice Enhance mode.
To further improve dialogue clarity, you can also utilize your TV or soundbar's Night Mode setting, which reduces loud sound effects while boosting quieter segments of the audio.
