IT'S ONLY been a number of weeks since hundreds of people complained about being unable to hear dialogue in Jamaica Inn, but it would appear the issue has reared its head again.

The BBC is said to be "looking into" complaints about problems with the sound on its new crime drama Quirke. 
A corporation spokesman said it had "received complaints from some viewers unhappy with the sound quality during Quirke".
He said: "We appreciate that some viewers experienced problems with the sound when watching Quirke.

"A wide range of factors can influence audibility and we are looking into why this should be and whether there are any steps we can take to improve the experience for the audience for episode two.
"We will continue to work with others in the television industry on this important subject."
The Dublin-set crime drama stars Gabriel Byrne as the Irish sleuth and is based on books by John Banville, writing under the pseudonym Benjamin Black.
Hundreds of viewers complained about Jamaica Inn last month despite the corporation saying it had adjusted sound levels "to address audience concerns" after viewers said they were unable to hear some of the dialogue.

Many said they had to turn up the volume or put subtitles on for the TV adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's classic gothic novel which starred Downton Abbey actress Jessica Brown Findlay.
The complaints came almost a year after BBC director-general Tony Hall said the corporation could look at how to stop actors "muttering" in its TV dramas.
"I don't want to sound like a grumpy old man, but I also think muttering is something we could have a look at," he said. "Actors muttering can be testing - you find you have missed a line... you have to remember that you have an audience."
He said that the corporation was addressing the problem of background music making it difficult for some, particularly older viewers, to hear what was being said.
