What sound setup did you use to watch it? This is an actual problem for me, because I want to watch it, but either can’t understand it or blow my eardrums out. I haven’t been able to find reliable versions with subtitles, which is my normal solution, so now I’m just super interested, but unable to understand it.
How have you been watching it? It was implied that you were pirating, but are you torrenting or streaming? And what type of audio (format, bit rate, etc) is included with the encode you’re watching? I’m also surprised it doesn’t come with subtitles, unless you’re looking for a language other than English.
Streaming. I just choose a site from the piracy community list and watch there until it refuses to load, then move on to another. I haven’t found any of those sites to be better than the others though.
Those streaming sites usually use pull from low quality encodes uploaded to file hosting sites, and the audio can often be the bit that has been sacrificed the most. It’s usually lower bit rate AAC or AC-3, which can sound distorted at higher volumes and the mix can lack clarity. I’d recommend downloading an episode with higher bitrate audio, at least 640 kbps AC-3, E-AC-3 or even DTS and seeing if it makes a difference with your sound setup. The encode info is usually available on whatever torrent site you’re browsing.
That’s why the subs are unreliable, lol. If I had it on dvd or bought it online, I hope they’d be included. But yeah, all of the options seem to either never load or have inaccurate/nonexistent subtitles. It’s actually to the point that I’m keeping an eye out in libraries for a copy, but I haven’t had any luck yet.
The only mechanism I can identify Christopher Nolan using is loud sound effects and very quiet dialogue 😅
The theater shook so hard in the Odyssey it was just vibrating everywhere. Slightly too much I’d say.
He really does not want parents watching his movies while the kids are asleep
I’m sorry, what was that?
Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.
EXPLODE!!!
The Expanse method
Plenty of terrible shows with equally terrible sound editing and you pick a good show with passable sound editing? Go on I guess…

subtitles are not a good excuse for bad audio levels…
that said, i never had any issues watching the expanse…

How do I know how the audio is encoded?
