Recently the tv is making the background music of a tv show louder than the words so that we cannot hear. turning it up only makes it worse as the background music gets more louder.
any suggestions? thanks.
I have a JVC 32" TV (CRT type). On some shows like "Bones", & "Mystery", the background sound is so loud that it drowns out the dialog. Other shows are just fine. My TV doesn't have a surround sound setting.
Thank you, everyone! I thought maybe I was losing my mind. I can hardly watch a lot of the TV shows anymore due to the inappropriate use of music -- either it's too loud or there's just too darned much of it. Come on, TV producers! You are supposed to get better with time, not worse! Thank goodness I'm not alone.
Use your TV remote, go to "menu", then "Sound" or "Audio", then "other" - this should let you scroll down to "Surround Sound" - turn it "off". If you have surround sound - play with the remote speakers to control what you want to hear - this worls on Sony & Panasonic & many others.
Not the tv, it's the shows with music in background playing too loud
The ID channel has become unwatchable due to loud back ground music. Why any company would advertise on this channel is a mystery to me.
I absolutely agree about the ID Channel. It's gotten to the point that if something doesn't change, I will have to stop watching it. But it sounds like it's happening on many other shows. They are ruining TV watching enjoyment. I wrote 2 messages on their FB page.
Why would the super shows like NCIS, etc. do it. //the music itself is awful - listen to it carfefully. Someone is cutting costs and making money. You can buy sound loop music to dub in your own shows. It's got to be cheap because it sure isn't created by knowledgeable musicians.

I have noticed the same annoyance. It is OK when the narrator is a trained professional with a strong announcing voice . However when they interview a soft spoken person who has not been trained to have a loud booming voice ,their words are often covered over by dramatic swells in music. The only fix it can think of is to email or write to TV producers. I have sent two emails about the History network but to date they have been ignored. Recently it was on Greatest tank battles where elderly war survivors with interesting things to say were also drowned out by music. Maybe is more people complained or if a blog or if enough internet feedback developed, the people who lay in the music might listen.
We should start a campaign for this on charge.org where peple can sign petitions like this to get them to stop i cant stand it it drives me crazy to the point where i cant even watch tv anymore why would they want that
I agree, and I am a musician and I simply turnb off the TV. Who in hell is in charge?

Try turning off Hyper Surround sound option.
Our JVC remote has a "Hyper Surround" button on it. Turning off Hyper Surround did the trick!
ted, you da man. That fixed mine instantly.
Didnt work on my Vizio either. I turned of true sound and surround sound and it still does it..
NOT THE TV

Not possible to fix, per my geek brother-in-law. The real question is WHY are they doing this?
Your geek brother-in-law is incorrect. I have a VIZIO with the same problem and when you go to audio there is an option to turn off SURROUND SOUND. Turn if off and the dialogue is finally louder than the music.
I finally did this and it worked... I also set the bass and treble to minus numbers. And balance to minus numbers as well. It worked!! No more loud music..finally!!
i geuss the reason there doing it it cover up an mistake they my say so less time editing it but they need better actor and less back ground noise
i don't see that I can adjust bass or treble.
I agree: WHY do they ruin their own shows?

My solution is to stop watching the likes of Discovery and History,
If I want to listen to heavy metal in the foreground I will put on a rock CD!
I watch NetFlix and DVD's and it still does it.

I have to wonder how much of it is the channels and how much is our tv's.
I have no issue with History, and like channels, those sound just fine but, ID/OWN for me is the worst. I have adjusted my sound bar, tv, and cable box but nothing helps. Background noise goes up and down constantly like volume leveling but mines not on.
I'm at a loss on what else to do but not watch those channels.
Portable earphones! Have same problem as you this has solved the hearing problem!
I'm 72 and have been exposed to loud noise in military. Cannot hear the best, but I am at a complete loss trying to hear the dialog, I can't ! My T.V. time is down to watching!!!
The government should do something. I think it is the Federal Communications people - not sure. Theiy have power to control the networks which control the air-ways.
Someone certainly should do something!!!

I don't understand why all tv programs have to have background music tracks. When I talk to someone I don't have background music, because I like to hear what they are saying. Almost all tv shows have the background music now and it is very, very annoying. Some of it is so loud, you can't hear the most of the actual program. I guess it will soon be included in the
news programs too, and we won't be able to hear half of what is said. The communications system need to get rid of most of the sound tracks, and get back to the old quiet and TV we used to have
I think the background noise is louder than the vocalization what can I do?
Soundtrack or background music/effects on Discovery,Science and History channels so loud the voice or dialouge can't be heard.
Go to your TV menu - Audio or Sound and turn OFF Surround Sound.
If you don't have a home theater sound system do not turn on Surround Sound. The voice should be mixed up front and the tv will do this automatically if you don't have Surround on.
If we are supposed to hear the dialogue why then don't the pin heads in charge of audio do their jobs. This is just plain STUPID,!
the news has constant drumming music sounds in the background and even the weather forecast suffers from it!
I agree. I stopped watching NCIS (one of my favorites) because of to loud, Blastong bacground music, if you want to call it that. I just cannot understand any purpose for it. A couple of years ago it was unheard of.
I stopped watching NCIS because of the loud, blasting background music. When wearing headphones it's even worse. A couple of years ago the programing was fine. Other programs seem to have followed the same pattern.
I am fed up with the noisy background that U will only watch the old shows and movies. They seem to be fine
My husband has hearing problems and the only ordinary TV show he has found that he can hear well is Castle.
It's horrible. Can;It listen to it
