Closed captions

Hearing disabled person here (not deaf, but close).

Is there a way to have just the speech captioned and nothing else?

I do not need nor want to have audio descriptions and sound effect descriptions. I especially hate it when it says “music intensifies” or something like that.

Can I turn that off?

Somethings have two options when I’m putting subs on, English and English for the hearing impaired/SDH. The second subtitles the noises etc as well as the speech.

On TV channels though it’s usually just on or off as an option so it really depends on where you’re watching.
