Use Voice Enhance Mode with your Samsung Soundbar and Samsung Smart TV

Last Update date : Nov 27. 2024

When you connect a Samsung soundbar to your Samsung Smart TV to watch movies or programs, you may notice that the dialogue sounds quieter compared to the background music or sound effects. If adjusting the TV's volume or equaliser settings doesn't significantly improve the dialogue clarity, you can try enabling the Voice Enhance feature on your Samsung soundbar. Voice Enhance mode improves the quality of dialogue in movies and TV shows, making it easier to hear. You can enable Voice Enhance mode using the soundbar’s remote control or the SmartThings app on your phone.
