Comment on Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds?

I have a 5.1 system. With a decent receiver . Even by controlling dynamic sound it’s still unbearable at times.

In the movie I’m watching in one scene the speaking is soft so I turn up the volume, in the next scene the singing is LOUD AS HELL. I don’t get what the point is.

But thank you for taking the time to respond.

Yea, crappy mixing. It may technically be “excellent” mixing, but only works in a theater.

Even that isn’t true, pretty much every movie I’ve seen at the theater in recent years, the dialog is hard to hear.

I turned up my center channel like 5db, (mostly) solved the issue for me

Stop using the dynamic sound. That should help.
