Amazon Prime football: How to turn off commentary on Amazon Prime
AMAZON PRIME has streamed its first ever Premier League games and viewers have noticing an audio option many football fans might consider a godsend. Here is how to turn off commentary on Amazon Prime.
Inside Edge: Amazon Prime release thrilling season two trailer
The live stream allows Amazon Prime users to listen to the commentary team or switch to the stadium noise. So, if the commentary team’s analysis is frustrating you, you can just enjoy the traditional sounds of an English Premier League stadium.
Amazon Prime’s competitors BT Sport and Sky Sports are yet to offer this option.
Consequently if commentators are a source of frustration, users’ only option is to kill the volume completely and watch in silence.
Sky briefly offered the ability to listen only to the stadium noise, during the early Sky Digital days when it also made it possible to watch the game via a number of different camera angles.
Amazon is streaming the game in 4K to those with compatible TV sets and media players and appears to be off to a good start, with no major complaints on social media about the feed thus far.

Amazon has form in offering an array of audio options to fans.
Amazon’ 2018 NFL coverage and their Thursday Night Football streams offered a number of commentary options.
These included all-female audio from Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm.
This marked the first time two women commentators had covered an entire NFL game.
To watch, simply download the Amazon Prime app on your supported device, login and select your stream.
For those not already an Amazon Prime member, the service costs £7.99 a month, which also provides many other benefits.
These include one-day delivery on all supported products from Amazon, plus the Prime TV and film library.
