    It seems we’ve lost sight of reality there.

    As we don’t intend to attend much cinema any more, I hope they bring back essentially a Dolby Noise Switch for movies. I don’t want to sacrifice too much, but booming noise followed by what comes out as whispered dialogue really cheapens the experience.

    I hope they can find a process that gives us back a sound track for the sub-17:7 sound system.

      Dynamic Range Compression. VLC player has it, possibly under a different name though. Set it up on my theater pc, and I almost don’t need subtitles anymore.

      They could add more audio tracks for different systems. Blurays support multiple audio tracks and they are almost never full.

        I’ve always wanted to try putting something like a guitar compressor pedal in the audio chain just to normalize the peaks. My wife will find something to watch, but ends up spending half the time adjusting the volume, or just turning on subtitles.

            I have a much simpler setup though. Just a ‘smart’ TV and a sound bar I paid about $200 for so nothing fancy.

            Not actually looking for advice, just a thought experiment of quick, easy and cheap fixes.
