Initially people were captivated as the Stade de France was transformed into a dark theatre and one golden figure emerged doing a spine-chilling dance.

This Golden Voyager went on to head up an impressive choreography before issues with the sound quality began to become apparent.

The problem began to escalate when French rock band Phoenix took to the stage for a musical performance.

Despite singing their hearts out, the performers struggled as the volume of their songs kept being raised and then lowered rapidly.

Viewers took to social media to complain about the blunder.

One person wrote: “Someone isn’t doing their job properly. Sound keeps going funny watching the Olympic closing ceremony on TV.”

Another raged: “The sound mix for the Olympics closing ceremony is driving me dotty like… why does it sound so bad??

“What a shame when such great french acts have been lined up.”

A third fumed: “Can someone please sort the sodding sound out? Are you playing it from the stadium or not??”

Someone else thought the UK broadcaster might be to blame, writing: “’I’m sure this Closing Ceremony is impressive in the stadium but the sound mix coming through on the BBC is freaking awful.”
