That is because the Streaming track of the show uses one of the stereo
channels to announce from. That's why you only hear the description
from one of your earphones or earbuds.

Hello Jody, et al,
Okay, I just started playing the first episode of Star Trek, Picard, in the
Paramount app on my iPad and when AD is enabled, all of the audio plays through
the left earpod, only.
Is there a fix for this?
Why must these things be so difficult?

I Lyssin to Picard on the Paramount Plus app on my iPhone. The audio
description is available. Do you have to turn it on in every episode in the
upper right hand corner of the screen.
The third season is the best! And if you have Paramount+ you can also watch
strange new worlds which is even better!

Hello All,
Okay, I just want to make certain that the Paramount Plus app for iOS / iPad
/ Apple TV is still accessible with the audio description feature, as of
today, in iOS 17 and its associated operating systems.
I purchased the first episode of Star Trek, Picard, on Prime Video, today,
and was surprised at how compelling the first episode was. I did not think
it would be as good as the big 4, if you know what I mean; but I was
pleasantly surprised.
Despite the fact that Prime listed the series as having an AD track, the
first EP, does not; at least it does not have one in Prime.
And you can forget about an AD track in iTunes. So disappointed.
I know that a while ago, a list member informed us that Apple does not offer
the AD track for Picard but I was hoping that this would change, alas, it
has not.
Even though I enjoyed watching the first EP of Picard, without AD, I know I
will enjoy the series, more completely, with AD.
So, as kind of an early Christmas gift to myself, I have decided to
subscribe to Paramount Plus, at least until I have seen all of Picard.
Of course I can and will sign up for the 7-day free trial but I don't want
to provide info to yet another company unless I am reasonably certain that
it will provide the expected service.
It's really quite sad that, even in late 2023, audio description is so
scarcely available.
If you will allow me to wax philosophically for a moment:
I will not be impress by this so-called new AI generation until it, AI that
is, can be used to provide audio description to those of us who are blind or
low vision, on the fly.
All replies greatly appreciated.
Mark
