I need the dialogue enhanced, not the entire soundtrack (my tinnitus goes crazy with the increased volume of the music and effects.) Will this work?

Hello: I am not sure that I can help you but here goes: My friend is severely hearing impaired and without this device the TV must be (on a scale of 10 with 10 being the highest) at 9.5, which means everyone else is blown out of the room. She tells me that the dialogue is clear as a bell so I am guessing that the soundtrack does not interfere with the dialogue. Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!

I dont suffet from tinnitus, but the dialoge is far more clear for me with this product. I hope you find that to be true also.

No, not from a source outside of what you are listening to, but if you're talking about the loud background music within the source you are listening to, so you can hear the dialog better, I can say that the dialog is more clear and more easily understandable.

The feature to enhance voice is called "Night" mode. The reason its termed that is because the speaker reduced the bass output as well as boosting the dialog of movies. It works pretty well. There are often times when the speaker is in "Normal" mode that I miss some softly spoken words so I turn on the "Night" mode (which is conveniently placed on the remote), and rewind the movie a bit & I can clearly hear the words what I originally missed.

I did a reply but not sure it went like that. I contacted my son and here is what he said: That button allows you to mute the sounds. It does not speak and you must read the questions. It just plays background sounds like bells or chimes. Again...it's a blast. You and your friends will totally fall in love with it and wonder how it's so darn smart.

No. Sadly, the game has no subtitles at all. If you are hard of hearing, it's a definite struggle, as there is a lot of dialogue and it can be an issue if full attention isn't being paid.

Actually, I figured it out. Make sure you're not on mute, record something with sound. When you play it back, you need to turn up the volume by pressing the up arrow (or top of the) on the circular button to the right of the screen. You will then see the volume go up and start to hear the sound from the playback. Trust me though...the sound quality isn't all that. It sounds better when you play it back on a computer, but not by much. I had to remind myself not to get discouraged because after all...it's not a video camera by design. Hope this helps!

No voice enhancement mode but the "night" mode makes dialogue much clearer. I find myself using it all the time for that reason.

Definitely. And it sounds pretty amazing. I never have to turn certain scenes up anymore to hear the dialogue.

I have this issue too. I've just spent over a hundred and thirty dollars on a 5.1 speaker system and sound card. Verified the sound card and speakers work properly, and when watching Star Trek Next Generation, it's as if I were in the edit bay at Paramount running the production prior to adding sound effects. The effects tracks are not being heard. Look Amazon, we're paying for this service to the tune of nearly a hundred dollars a year, and we bloody well deserve the full 5.1 / 7.1 audio experience we're paying for.

Thanks T. J. Schaefer! It worked perfectly. I did have to go in under sound settings to change my default audio device, but I'm up and running now. :)

I am sorry I don't have an immediate answer for you as I don't have time right now to research it. My suggestion is to go to the web site for Sennheiser and look for an instruction manual for our model headset. I seem to recall there being instructions someplace about how to add additonal headsets. At that site you should also find how to contact their support folks to ask you question. Good Luck - sorry I am in a bind for time or I would search for an answer for you.

No, I'm not aware of any speaker system that does that. That is more of a function of the original mix. It does play, very accurately, what the original mix is. What you might be experiencing is a tv station broadcasting in 5.1 surround sound mix and your current system isn't set up properly for that. I had the same experience before I got this system. Weird background noises would be louder than the dialog. Especially watching football games. Since I have got this system, I haven't had that problem, so possibly Yes!

No that's not enough....go here to download the the fix (a zip file) from Aiptek: http://www.aiptek.com/update/Be sure to open and read the instructions on the above page.It works, it adjusted the microphone sensitivity and the sound is great now!! No more high pitched squeal. And the update also fixes color levels and night shot brightness. YAY!

You can pick an alternate language with the remote control, which will explore the soundtrack of the file for alternate lanaguages. I have noticed that u can't get audio from the hdmi out of a pc- possibly you can with a Windows 7 or later adjustment, so I listened to sound off the pc itself at first. Recently bought a soundbar, and placed it beneath the front of the TV for sound, which is better enough so that you can interpret, as an American, the english dialect of the main character in the Imitation Game, so you can interpret the major revelation of the plot. Otherwise, without subtitles, you will not learn the woman's bar chatter that cued the lead how to solve the enigma problem!

I think the surround sound just makes all the background noise louder!!! I am trying so hard to figure out to just have the voices loud. So far I have found out that surround should be off and I play with the pop or flat settings and balance

.... some sound effects (arena, jazz..), only stereo and multi channel stereo will be available. Regards

I too am interested in this feature. I thought I was the only one that thought the dialogue was quiet & the music/effects too loud. This is MOSTLY blamed on poor mixing by whoever was responsible for creating the disk you are watching. I'm also interested in it so the commercials don't SCREAM at me on the rare occasions when I watch live TV.
