OK, the title is poorly worded. Sorry. What I mean is I’m watching a movie right now. When they’re speaking, I have to turn the volume up,but as soon as there’s any sort of special effect sound I pretty much go deaf because it is so loud. For the record the movie I’m watching is beauty and the beast put out in 2017 with Emma Watson. Speaking I have to set the volume to approximately 45 out of 100 on my home theater. As soon as they start singing, it is so damn loud it’s insane. Why would they do this and how do I fix the problem?
I’m using a Roku for Disney plus and a Denon receiver AVR-E400. I’ve tried going into the settings for Audyssey and strong dynamic volume to medium but that only helps a little bit. Maximum is a possibility, but then the audio doesn’t even sound correct it’s like I don’t know how to explain it, but it sounds strange at that point.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem because the dynamic range that I’m having is insane. I’m glad I live in my own house an apartment otherwise the neighbors would be pissed off at me.
Edit: I have a 5.1 system
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.
I turned up my center channel like 5db, (mostly) solved the issue for me
Yeah another commenter suggested the same. It helped quite a bit
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.
Stop using the dynamic sound. That will help.
