tvOS 18 Enhances Audio Experience for Considerate Home Viewing

Apple TV 4K

tvOS 18 introduces a key feature for Apple TV 4K: Enhance Dialogue. Previously limited to users with HomePods as default speakers in tvOS 17, this feature now works with any speaker setup, including built-in TV speakers, soundbars, and third-party systems.

To enable it:

  • Go to Settings > Video and Audio > Enhance Dialogue.
  • Choose from three options:
    • Off: Original audio mix remains unaltered.
    • Enhance: Highlights dialogue with minimal impact on the mix.
    • Enhance More: Amplifies dialogue further but may affect the mix.

Why It’s a Must-Have for Some Users

Enhance Dialogue is a game-changer for those living in apartments, with sleeping babies, or in shared spaces. The feature ensures clear dialogue even at lower volumes, making it easier to watch TV without disturbing others.

Pair with Reduce Loud Sounds for a Quieter Experience

Another helpful setting in the same menu is Reduce Loud Sounds, which softens sound effects and music without losing detail. Combining this with Enhance Dialogue creates a balanced audio experience, perfect for nighttime viewing or noise-sensitive environments.

How to Turn It On

  • Go to Settings > Video and Audio > Reduce Loud Sounds.
  • Toggle the setting to “On.”

These simple tweaks can significantly improve your TV-watching experience, especially in noise-sensitive situations.
