Apple TV plus no sound on Fire Stick

i'm a software developer and have troubleshot this issue of no sound when watching shows on apple tv plus via a Firestick. my hardware is new and software up to date. previews and screensavers within the app do emit sound. but when we select a show or rent a movie, the ENGLISH sound is not available. we can select a different language and they all work. so there is no issue with speaker, bluetooth connection, etc. my best guess on whats happening is that Amazon is blocking the main English audio in order to drive move purchases and subscription purchases thru Amazon. i see via review of chats that this issue has existed for years. but i haven't seen any notes about the language issue. Amazon isn't killing the sound entirely, they are blocking only the main English audio stream. choosing another audio stream (korean, spanish, or englsh AD) works most of the time. just not convenient for an English speaker. maybe this helps your team pinpoint the issue. when looking for whats broken, test the different Audio streams. Amazon is restricting English. also, i wondered if it was a bandwidth issue and just too many people trying to access at once. but i also tested on an old show and same issue there. so it doesn't seem to be related to number of streamers. thanks for your help! i buy apple products 99.9% of the time. just got a firestick for an outdoor projector to watch moves on occasionally. and was super disappointed to find i couldn't watch my apple library with sound - or at least in English -- Jill

Hello eieioeieioeieio,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get English audio in the Apple TV on your Amazon Firestick to work as expected. To help with this, see if resetting the Apple TV app helps with your issue:



1. "In the Apple TV app TV app, navigate to Settings. 
2. Go to Reset, then select Reset. 
3. Resetting the Apple TV app restores it to original settings and removes your personal information, TV shows, and movies from the smart TV."



And that is from this Apple resource: Reset the Apple TV app - Apple Support If you are still having issues after trying that step, please contact Apple directly for further assistance: Apple Support



Cheers!
