    Yeah the vast majority of those responses boil down to bad audio mixing and bad audio equipment. When you have an ad 5x the volume as the content and you’re playing it all on TV speakers which can handle about 20% of the range then yeah, you won’t hear anything.

        I can’t even imagine how many trips to the tv I would have made as a child of this were the case. My father in law is still watching cable tv. He mutes every single commercial because of the volume. He’s almost 80 but he’s been doing it as long as I can remember. My wife says it never was like that when she was a kid cause she was the remote.

        We sail the high seas so no ads here.
