Re:Why Is Everyone Watching TV with the Subtitles On? by hypercube33 on Sunday July 30, 2023 @09:07AM (#36930804)
I've noticed especially for movies that they really mix for center channel of at least 5.1 audio and if that's not properly down mixed for stereo speakers you get the situation where everything else is crazy loud and dialogue is whisper quiet so I'm turning the volume up and down on movies that my old receiver doesn't play nice with. that and there is some awful audio compressor streaming studios use that makes voices sound "tin can" like but I am told I'm one of the few bothered by it.

Exactly. I find myself constantly switching to non 5.1 audio when watching something on Netflix. I wish they made a setting to make it the default.
