    I feel like the problem is the TV. I used to have this issue constantly but ever since I started watching things with headphones on it never happened

    It's the TV. No one should expect TV speakers to be worth anything. Even getting one of the cheapest sound bars or even computer speakers will make a noticable difference

      There are a few interesting reasons for this.

        The solution is obviously to learn german. Then you can watch with our excellent and easily intelligible dubs.

          I blame Dolby 5.1... switch to Dolby 2.1.... people encoding online video should do this before ripping video or us and audio leveler on the resulting files and save everyone else the hassle.

          Or just get a 5.1 setup. Speakers are cheaper than ever.

          Edit: Well. They were. Before an orange man decided to destroy the economy.

            Yes. And stop fucking mumbling. And use a proper lighting for fuck sake, I don't care if it is middle of the night in a forest, I want to be able to see what's going on.

            I prefer for actors to mumble then their character is supposed to mumble, and just use subtitles. Maybe it's because I've gotten too used to subtitles from all the anime I watch but I always enable it for anything on YouTube or any other video content I consume.

            Agree on the lightning part though, at least for action scenes, bad lighting is often used to cover for bad CGI. For narration scenes of the place is actually dark, I don't really mind for me to basically only see silhouettes, it's appropriate.

                          Been there the hard way. I got Tubular Bells II, and listened to it via headphones (I had no speakers).

                          There is one passage where the music ends, and a child speaks. It was hard to understand, so I turned the volume to 11, and heard the end of the sentence like "and nothing was ever heard of him again but the sound of tu-bu-lar bells." The next sound was the BANG of the tubular bells, making my eardrums meet somewhere in the middle. somewhere...

                              It was great in cinema. It's terrible at home.

                              Frankly annoying as hell that shows and movies can basically only be enjoyed in a cinema or with headphones.

                              Where's the audio equivalent of HDR?

                                My guess is the newest movie trilogy. Maybe the newest shows? Picard and/or that Netflix one? Discovery?

                                  There's HDR for displays, which increases the dynamic range, but there's also HDR for photos, where the dynamic range is compressed. So maybe they meant the latter? Very not confusing naming...

                                  What about the HDR on my HDR TV that just makes all colors darker when enabling HDR?

                                    I've got some decent stereo speakers connected to my TV. Music sounds great, but it does not fix this issue at all.
                                    A soundbar might actually be better cause it has no base I assume.

                                      You can get an audio compressor extension on most browsers too. It functions by reducing volume above a threshold and increasing overall output to compensate.

                                      On the flip side, if a poor audio mixer overly does this to make their track sound louder, services such as YouTube penalize the volume of the entire audio track.

                                      Human ears are more sensitive to certain sounds, so boosting certain frequencies can make something sound louder without necessarily increasing the overall amplitude of the sound waves (air pressure).

                                        Right now TNG. I'm re-watching it with my fiancé. The sound of the ship whooshing past is deafening.

                                        It's been a minute since I've seen the rest of the shows. So I don't remember how good their mixing is.
