By The BBC is investigating viewer complaints about the sound quality in new drama Jamaica Inn.
Viewers have reportedly noted that sound issues ruined their enjoyment of the first episode of Jessica Brown Findlay's drama, which debuted last night (April 21) on BBC One.
Technicians are now said to be looking into the issue in the hopes of fixing it before tonight's second episode, according to Radio Times.
"There were issues with the sound levels last night that we are currently reviewing ahead of tonight's episode," the BBC said in a statement.
The BBC were not able to confirm whether the issues related to the level or quality of the sound, or problems with the drama's original recording.
Many viewers complained about the sound quality on Twitter last night, pointing out the mix of Cornish accents and general mumbling by the characters.

Only Fools and Horses actor John Challis said: "Jamaica Inn LOOKS very good but I haven't heard a single word that's been said.Either the actors are mumbling or the sound track is faulty."
The three-part series will conclude on Wednesday evening (April 23). Findlay plays orphaned Mary Yelland, who lives with her aunt Patience (Joanna Whalley) in remote Jamaica.
Jamaica Inn opened to 6.1 million viewers for its debut episode.
