If you use an Amazon Fire TV, chances are you’ve browsed around the settings menu. Among other things, you can tweak display and audio quality. The latter just got a major update, with a specific feature receiving significant improvements.
Amazon Fire TV: Dialogue Boost Gets an Upgrade
Amazon Fire TV users might have come across the Dialogue Boost feature in the settings. When you turn it on, it’s supposed to boost the volume and clarity of dialogue compared to background music and effects. For example, if the main characters in a movie are talking during a loud action scene, their voices will stand out clearly from the rest of the audio.
Until now, this service was only available for select Originals. As AFTVnews reports, Amazon has changed that. The machine learning algorithms now run in real time on the Fire TV itself, instead of being processed on servers beforehand. This means Digital Boost now works on every video in any app you watch.

How to Activate the Feature
Also new: the previous three modes—”Low,” “Medium,” and “High”—where you could set Dialogue Boost, have been expanded with two more: “Enhanced” and “Amplified.” According to AFTVnews, these new volume settings make “the dialogue significantly and substantially louder than the background sound.”
Right now, the update is only available on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd gen) and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd gen). If you use one of these devices and don’t want to miss out on this feature, you can easily activate it in two ways:
- Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio
- Settings > Accessibility
