Samsung stands as a top-tier TV manufacturer, providing a selection of economical, mid-tier, and premium models that excel in design, gaming, picture quality, and smart home connectivity. Nonetheless, audio quality is frequently overlooked. While many consumers might be satisfied with the standard sound settings, those desiring more detail could find them insufficient. Samsung TVs are ideal for music, films, and gaming, yet reviewers recommend enhancements in sound quality. Thankfully, whether you currently own or are considering purchasing a Samsung TV, you can fine-tune the audio experience through various sound options. This guide outlines seven methods to elevate your Samsung TV’s audio.

1. **Modify the equalizer**: Most Samsung televisions come equipped with a manual 8-band EQ, akin to those found on Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, and headphones. Use the remote to adjust bass, midrange, and treble. For assistance with frequency ranges, refer to our EQ customization guide.
– Home [Button] -> Settings -> Sound -> Expert Settings

2. **Change the sound modes**: Samsung provides three sound presets: Amplify, Adaptive Sound (Optimized), and Standard (default). Amplify enhances mids and highs, particularly for dialogue-heavy material, Optimized amplifies special effects, and Standard evenly distributes sound without prioritizing any specific frequencies.

3. **Unlock Q-Symphony capabilities**: Sync the audio from your TV with a Samsung soundbar for immersive surround sound. Connect using HDMI, optical cable, or Wi-Fi. Set the soundbar source to “D.IN” for cable or Wi-Fi for internet. Use the Source button on the TV remote to cycle through options.

5. **Enable Auto Volume**: Ensure consistent volume levels across different channels and sources.
