Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Why does voice over keep turning on on my Apple TV?

Suddenly, the voice over function goes on on my Apple TV without me changing the settings. In fact, when I go to Settings it’s off, even though it’s in action when I’m watching a streaming program.


This is very annoying. How do I make it stop?

Apple TV 3, 8

The scene describing voice during programs is named Audio Descriptions, and that is a different functionality than VoiceOver.

Audio Descriptions is a separate audio track, when available. You can select a different non-AD track during playback.


Turn Audio Descriptions on or off on your Apple TV - Apple Support (default for new videos)

Change subtitles or languages for videos in the Apple TV app or iTunes Store - Apple Support (during playback)
