Audio on Succession is high-pitched

[GeorgeC]

Hi,

I've just started a re-watch of Succession on Now TV, having watched all the seasons when they first aired with my friend who has a Sky account.

Because I've seen it before, I'm really noticing that actors' voices seem very high pitched compared to their original broadcast on Sky / HBO, almost like they're talking on helium. It's super distracting especially when I know how their voices are supposed to sound.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a reason for it?

Thanks

What device are you using? 

Have you done any troubleshooting like deleting and reinstalling the app, unplugging the router plus your router for a few minutes?

@Serena I found it to go back to normal from Season 2 onwards.... just got to try and ignore the high pitch in Season 1

For info - I had similar with Hawai-five-o.  Noticed the actors moving faster and trees blowing oddly.  Thanks to the other link above, I realised I wasn't being silly.  Thankfully, Series 3 it seems to have settled down.
