AppleTV with HomePod Mini Sound Too Quiet…
I have a new AppleTV 4K lined to two paired HomePod Minis and have tried numerous things to get the sound output increased. If I use the Minis for music I can turn the volume up to a satisfactory level, so I know I’m not doing deaf and they are working just fine. But when using them as audio output from the AppleTV the audio is ridiculously low…to the point where I can’t hear dialog for some softly spoken lines in streamed movies (from HBO, Netflix, etc).
Why doesn’t Apple allow end users to make needed adjustments in the settings for AppleTV? After updating to TV OS 17 it actually seems worse. This is a ridiculous situation for otherwise good products…
Apple, let me figure out how loud I want my audio and at least let me “turn off” your silly “we know best” sound volume algorithms…
