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?

Turn dynamic volume off. At first it will seem like that makes it worse. It’s not. Turn the volume up after disabling it. That should give you a better setup.

Dynamic volume raises quieter sounds, which makes dialogue louder but also makes other background stuff louder. It actually makes it worse.

Also try boosting your center channel volume (if you have a center) by around 2-3db. That will also help.

Increasing the center channel helped.

Had to turn dynamic sound off to get to that setting

  You should be able to boost regarldess. You want to boost it in the speaker settings. Should be called channel volume.

    Denon (on my receiver) won’t allow it. The option gets greyed out.
