I was thinking, that this is a problem for stereo setups, because movies are mixed for 5.1/7.1
Was thinking to get a soundbar, but if I can fix this in a configuration on the TV, that would be cheaper.
What should I look for?
I’ve already played around with different audio options on the TV, but it didn’t really help - or was better for one movie, but not for the next thing…
Yup the .1 setups make it horrible without any form of mixing.
If you can’t enable some “night-mode” or “dialogue enhancer” or just a plain mixer, you’re pretty screwed with “cinema sound”.
I usually just take headphones then, so wifey doesn’t have to endure my 3d sound and it really eases it.
If stuck with some tv-setup, I’d maybe use a raspberry as input with kodi on it or something like that. There you can.
Soundbar depends on the features. Like above, however each manficaturer calls them
It’s currently about my wife and me too understand things, when we’re laid out on the couch
So, there is no real center position or the real possibility of us both wearing headphones.
It just can’t be, that movies aren’t made to be consumed on a local TV (rofl, auto correct wanted to make THC out of it ;-))
Anyway, there must be a solution to consume current media somehow, and still understand the probability miserable dialogues, while still being able to allow for effects of a bomb, without alarming my neighbours
For real now, who the fuck has the setup and possibilities to actually follow a current movie?
Understandable. I rarely use the TV, we have a cinema-room with beamer and speakers to eliminate this nasty problem.
If only the TV, you could still install kodi there to watch your stuff with some compression. Or some other app.
If you can’t install anything, then you’re stuck with external speakers that offer that.
I have a pretty nice soundbar setup, but dialogue volume is still really low for many sources – it’s just mixed that way. Soundbar may not be a real solution.
I don’t want to compress or have to do trickery :( Usually we put subtitles on as a temp fix
Was hoping for rather simple fix, because current movies aren’t actually watchable at home
Even in the cinema, the sound effects are turned up to 11, and sometimes the actors still whisper and can be hardly understood
At least most blockbusters don’t even have a real story to follow anyway…

Yeah, well…

I already have Kodi on my media server - although currently it’s…under construction
Hmm…not sure, if I had the same problem there.
Will need to revive it anyway.
Thanks for the input :-)

Uff, thanks for the input, but that sucks
