Sorry if this has been discussed. I don’t recall seeing it. I was surprised when my daughter decided to activate Netflix on the rear screen through her earbuds and the rest of the cabin went silent. Is there a setting I need to adjust or does everyone suffer in silence in order for the kids to watch entertainment? That seems like it would have been mentioned in one of the dozens of cabin review videos I’ve watched. Hopefully not the only way.

I haven't tried in my CT, but in my wife's X, the volume control on the bottom right corner of the front screen says "rear" under it. Tapping that speaker icon will allow the driver to switch back to "front".

The mechanisation of the entertainment system is embarrassing. My old 2018 Chrysler Pacifica had better HVI (human vehicle interface). Why in the world can a front seat passenger (weight on seat and seat belt buckled, or use the interior cabin camera FFS) NOT control the rear screen for the kids? Or even without a front seat passenger get the rear screen to the point of actual video (navigating to the point of clicking play)? Just one more way this "tech company" is still acting like a startup instead of a $500B company. /End rant

I have the CT and my daughter watches movies with headphones while I listen to music. I never touched the settings, just came that way.
