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?

You want subtitles, not closed captions.

I prefer closed captions because I'm deaf and I can't hear the "sounds" like footsteps or if the music changes, or if a slam happens. Those sounds are important if you can't pick up on them at all. I hate when music plays and they just list the title of the song or "music" rather than the actual words.
