A technology expert has shared a little-known Netflix hack that could significantly enhance your viewing experience. Matty McTech, known for his tech insights, revealed the tip via a TikTok video on his Setupspwan account. He highlighted a common issue where Netflix assumes users have surround sound systems, leading to subpar sound quality. Matty explained that if you struggle to hear voices over background noise, it may be due to Netflix’s surround sound settings.
To improve audio quality, simply pause the content, access language settings at the bottom, and check the default audio selection. If it shows “English [Original] (5.1)” or a similar setting indicating surround sound, switch it to “English [Original]” for a clearer sound experience. Matty also mentioned a website, Netflix-codes.com, which unveils hidden genre categories not easily found on the platform, allowing users to discover niche content like satires or cult horror movies.
The revelation sparked various reactions on TikTok, with users expressing gratitude for the helpful advice. Commenters shared their surprise at Netflix’s assumption of users owning surround sound systems and appreciated the newfound clarity in audio. Matty addressed a rumour suggesting Dolby’s influence on Netflix’s default settings, promoting their technology. The practical tip and genre category hack were well-received, with users thankful for the improved viewing experience.
