Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound? (kbin.social)

I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result.

Am I just weird?

OK, side question. Doesn't it drive you insane to be trying to follow a game's audio while people are talking on TV?

I like handhelds for playing in bed, or tucking away in a corner of the house, but sitting there while people are watching TV or having conversations while trying to play a game is... hard and not very productive, unless the game is very casual or purely mechanics-driven.
