The Enhance Dialogue feature in tvOS separates the dialogue from the background noise and brings it forward to the center channel so users can more clearly hear what is being said over the effects, action, and music in a movie or TV show on Apple TV 4K when paired with HomePod (2nd generation).
To use the Enhance Dialogue feature in the current version of tvOS 17, you’ll need to pair at least one second-generation HomePod to your Apple TV 4K; you can also connect two HomePods as a stereo pair. Here’s how to use the feature:
- Start a movie or TV show in your favorite app on your Apple TV.
- Show playback controls by resting your finger on the clickpad of your second-generation Siri Remote or later. Alternatively, press Up on the clickpad ring. If you have the first-generation Siri Remote, rest your finger on the touch surface.
- Select the Audio Options button above the scrubber that resembles a waveform.
- Click the Enhance Dialogue option to enable the feature.
