TV question?

I have a fairly recent vintage samsung and MOST OF THE TIME, my volume is between 20 and 35. Different programs and times of day have different needs. I have, a couple times, had a program where the sound quality was so soft in the program that I cranked it up to 60ish, but I was in read fear the entire time of their being some volume pulse that would blow out my ears…and speakers.

Speakers humming might be an indicator of something wrong with them. Do a google search on speaker hum. I saw a half dozen articles on simple things to check to clear it.

I have read on multiple sites that newer TVs have bad speakers, tinny and weak. You may need to buy a sound bar to supplement what you hear.

I have a Samsung that’s about 8 years old and it sounds good. I put the volume on around “13” and it’s fine, for regular TV. Sometimes if I’m streaming something, it needs to be turned up louder. I don’t have a sound bar.

To save some money, you could hook up the TV to your stereo. Or do like I did and get a home theater sound system.

If you have $250 try this – - – - > VIZIO – 5.1-Channel V-Series Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Audio 5.1/DTS Virtual:X – Black !

Your video source sounds suspect.

Try plugging it into a different outlet and move other electronics away from it.

I have the same issue with my older Vizio. The Roku app allows you to play the audio through the device the app is on. I then pass that through to my Bluetooth speakers.

I noticed something similar a few years ago. I could be wrong but it seems like (some) tvs are designed with safety consciousness in mind…like the volume is limited to protect our hearing whether we want to or not.

An inexpensive sound bar (or audio system of your choice) effectively takes care of volume restrictions.
