APPLE TV SOUND

FOR SOME REASON MY SHOWS THAT ARE ON APPLE TV SEEM TO PLAY WITH SOUND EXCEPT FOR THE SPOKEN WORD. THAT DOESN'T PLAY. THUS I HAVE TO USE SUBTITLES. IT DOESN'T OCCUR WHEN I PLAY SHOWS ON ANY OTHER SERVICE, EG NETFLIX, PRIME OR HULU. I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THIS. ANY IDEAS?

if your audio is set to surround in the appletv settings, but you don't have surround speakers connected then when you play surround enabled media

this will happen as most spoken words play out of the center speaker but without surround speakers one only have front left and right speakers
