At the same time, the developers and all the people working onNetflix’s under the hood featuresare also leveling up their game with the implementation of new tech that enhances users' enjoyment of content with some quality of life improvements. The latest of these is the addition of the xHE-AAC audio codec for Netflix’s Android app, which enables “Dynamic Range Control” that helps even out the volume differences between a show’s quiet dialogue and an action scene with exploding cars all over the place.
To put it simply, the new audio codec aims to save viewers' time and effort when they have to constantly change the volume levels on their devices or simply switch to headphones. These differences in volume levels become exacerbated by the added noise from surrounding areas and low-quality speakers some phones use, though it had been fixed on iOS since 2019.
By Netflix’s own admission, around 70% of its content is consumed on TV sets, be it thanks toSmart TV Appsor streaming devices, with the vast array of comedy specials, documentaries, and select picks available on the platform.
