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
Some devices have sound leveling or something. I can’t remember what it’s called. It’s so annoying when movies are like this. The most recent one I watched that was this dumb was the dark knight. I recently figured out how to connect my headphones to my tv and that makes this way easier
My older Yamaha receiver has what they call Surround AI. It automatically boosts or lowers sounds proportionally to counter every movie having shit mixing. It’s amazing, many times I’ll see a movie in theater, and once it’s done I realize I’ll need to rewatch it at home to understand like half of what was said and I missed.
