      jared26Aug 26, 2025
      If the output sound of your LG Speaker System seems low, switch the DRC function to OFF using the “LG Wi-Fi Speaker” app. If connected to a TV, change the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT setting on the TV Setup Menu from PCM to AUTO or BITSTREAM. If connected to a Player, change the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT setting on the Player Setup Menu from PCM to PRIMARY PASS-THROUGH or BITSTREAM. Also, change the Audio DRC setting on the connected device setup menu to the OFF state, and ensure Night Mode is turned OFF.
