Netflix volume is too low or quiet

There might be an issue with the connection between your device and the TV.

To fix the problem:

1. Make sure you're using an HDMI cable.

2. Try reversing the ends of the HDMI cable.

3. Bypass any receivers or sound systems in use by connecting your device directly to your TV using an HDMI cable.

4. Try connecting to a different HDMI port on your TV.

5. Try a new HDMI cable.

6. If available, try an HDMI port on another TV.

   • If you can stream on another TV, there may be an issue with the HDMI port on the original TV. Contact the TV manufacturer for help.

If you use an assistive listening device or voice clarifying headset while watching Netflix, you may need to adjust your streaming device's audio output settings to Stereo or Linear PCM output. For help adjusting these settings, contact the manufacturer of your streaming device.

If you don't use one of these devices, continue troubleshooting below.

To fix this issue, you'll need to contact the company that made your device.

When you talk to them, ask for their help with these steps. After each step, try Netflix again to see if it fixed the problem.

1. Update your device's firmware or software to the latest version.

2. Restore your device to its original settings, like when you first got it.

If they can't fix the problem or these steps don't work, you'll need to use a different device to watch Netflix.

If your device is connected directly to your TV, check your Netflix app audio options. If surround sound (5.1) is selected, try changing it to Stereo instead. If you are unsure how to change your Netflix app audio settings, visit our alternate audio article.

If changing to stereo solves your audio issue, your equipment may not be surround sound compatible. Contact your device's manufacturer for assistance if you believe your equipment should be compatible with 5.1 audio.
