The Nightmare Subtitles English
I'm at my wit's end here. I thought my problem was because I had my HBO Max settings on "Closed Captions," but it isn't. Every time I try and play a foreign-language movie or program on HBO Max, I'm treated to someone reading the English subtitles OUT LOUD. I do use the Closed Caption setting on many things, because the volume can vary greatly depending on the show or movie. But I turned it to the OFF position to see if it would solve the problem: it did NOT. What gives here? And, the Closed Captions setting is also buggy. Sometimes it works, and then it just stops.
The Nightmare subtitles English
I do NOT want the dubbing -- I hate dubbing. I want the original language w/subtitles, that's all. Initially I thought the issue was because I keep my Closed Captions setting ON at all times. (I use the Closed Caption feature on all my ROKU devices for two reasons: 1. Late at night, I need to keep the TV so low that it is often hard to hear; 2. Volume levels do vary for many shows & movies, so sometimes it's helpful to have it on, particularly if an actor doesn't speak clearly.) I thought if I turned OFF the Closed Captions setting that it would solve the problem of the English overdubbing. It didn't. Even with that setting turned off -- the problem remained the same. The problem has to be with the app.
However, music was the loudest. Some used it to describe the nightmare surrounding them, others to express their political loyalty. The national radio-television commissioned, financed and aired it intensively. Some twenty years later, the wartime soundtrack still triggers emotions.
