Movie Volumes On TV Drive Me Crazy

Why Is Everyone Watching TV With the Subtitles On? It’s not just you. "So instead of this algorithm analyzing the loudness of the dialogue coming out of people’s mouths,” Blank explained to me, “it analyzes the whole show as loudness. So if you have a loud music cue, that’s gonna be your loud point. And then, when the dialogue comes, you can’t hear it."

It's a damn shame I have to sit with my amp's remote in hand. Sometimes after I turn up the volume to hear what their saying the next scene unexpectedly cuts in blasting me out of my seat. What the hell is the matter with these people! I really wish I had a built in sound leveler. Manufactures should start considering them. We all could sure use them.
