Does Hawaii have a native language?

Hawaii is the only US state to have two official languages, yet they are far from equal – and the one that was there first gets the worst deal. Forty years ago this year, Olelo Hawai’i (the native Hawaiian language) was officially incorporated into the state constitution as the state language, alongside English.

Was the Hawaiian language ever banned?

After the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, teaching and learning through the medium of Hawaiian was banned in 1896. Many Hawaiian elders have told of being punished for speaking Hawaiian at school. Hawaiian language would not be heard in schools for the next four generations.

Why is there no sound coming out of my Channels?

Some channels may not broadcast any sound when the SAP feature is activated. Local network channels are a good example of this. Channels that utilize SAP usually transmit the dialogue in a second language (such as Spanish). Some channels transmit other types of audio programming, such as classical music.

Why do TVs have such poor sound quality?

The main answer to this question of poor sound is simple physics. Older TVs had large-ish speakers mounted in the cabinet and pointed directly at you, driven by a few watts of power. The reasonable surface area, radiating directly at the viewer, allowed them to produce sound, while not high fidelity, that was at least intelligible.

Why is dialogue so hard to understand on TV?

Because the loud points can get so loud, sometimes home viewers turn down their TVs when sound effects become overwhelming. This has the undesired effect of lowering the volume of the normal listening levels, which makes dialogue hard to understand.

What is the main difference between old and modern audio signals?

The main one is the dynamic range. Older audio signals had limited dynamic range, which means the high and low volume points did not vary much. As an example, think of someone speaking in a monotone but raising or lowering their voice only occasionally, and not by very much when they change it. This is an example of limited dynamic range.
