Audio description on HBO Max. All of a sudden this narrating the show I was watching. This is extremely annoying. I already tried the Audio settings guide and it's off. Hbo max has no audio options. How can I fix this?

Re: Audio description

While you're playing a video on HBO Max if you press the * button on your remote is there any option for audio track?

I have the same problem. Just started out of nowhere and I can't figure out how to turn it off. Very annoying.

No, nothing happens. Any other ideas?

Same issue. Episode 7 of the flight attendant has this. Not 6. Not 8. HBO Max is also one of the poorest layouts of any app on Roku.  Truly bad.

That’s the exact same with us, thought I was going crazy! It’s just episode 7 of flight attendant. Seems like it must be a problem on HBO’s end.

We were able to watch it fine on the computer where the audio options are available.

That’s exactly when it happened to us - E7 of The Flight Attendant. Glad to know that the next episode is better!

Glad I'm not alone.  Exact same thing happening to me.  E7 of The Flight Attendant.  Never had that happen before.
