A spokesman for First German Television explained to the German Press Agency that evening that there was a nationwide problem with Dolby Surround playback during the nine minutes. The center channel, where voices and dialogues are usually heard, was disturbed. According to ARD, there were no problems with stereo televisions.
Sunday night's new “crime scene” was actually about a group that attacked jewelers in Stuttgart just before closing time, injuring the owner and killing a customer. The Maslov and Ellinger families are the targets of the investigations of Inspectors Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare). Adults with experience and alibis try to evade the police.
However, this did not happen at first because there was no sound. “X” comments show: Stuttgart's tone-deaf “Tatort” did not get off the ground and caused not only confusion, but also a lot of humorous comments online – as well as dissatisfaction among fee-payers.
Simone Windhoff asked on “X” (formerly Twitter): “Wordless in #stuttgart. An important soundtrack is missing – for you too? #crime scene.” Dr. Boobs humorously pointed this out: “After 11 minutes, a #crime scene was spotted.” One note of irony was brought in by Alex, who wrote: “For 8.6 billion you can't really expect a soundtrack. #crime scene.” Eifelralf asks himself in exasperation, “Do I have a sound problem or is this art? #crime scene.”
Meanwhile, Lucas surprised #AvatarFrontiers with an unexpected twist: “Worst twist: soundtrack is broken, first 5 minutes thought it was supposed to be like this #crime scene.” Ulli Tepoztlan was concerned about the film's reputation. crime thriller: “#crime event is when I don't know if the soundtrack is missing or if it's supposed to be a stylistic device. We can trust them with anything these days.
Meanwhile, AJ Moonlight got to the bottom of it: “When I think about where the sound went. I have now restarted the media library, the full soundtrack is there. #CrimeScene.”
