    Pay for better audio people. TV companies make big shiny displays but out smartphone sized speakers in them. Gone are the days where you can get good audio from your TV. Even the cheapest sound bars will make a difference.

    It’s not your ears. It’s your sound equipment.

      Nope. Not always.

      I have a none cheap but not super expensive soundbar. We were watching the film Phantoms the other night and the sound was just terrible.
      The women’s voices were very clear but the men’s voices were inaudible whispers.
      Turn it up …FUCK YOU, ACTION SCENE
      Turn it down
      Peter O’Toole introduced. We can hear him clearly because he was classically trained.
      Go back to usual men talking and just whispers again.
      Turn it up. FUCK YOU I SAID, ACTION SCENE
      Oh FFS, turn it down.

      It was like that all the way through.

      I have all the clear voice options working. I have tinkered on the sound profile on my TV to help try to lose the bass and give a bit more clarity on the voices but sometimes it’s just the shit way the audio on the film is mixed.
