I just don’t have this problem but I hear it a lot from people. I find the problem 90% of the time is one of these:

  1. You are using your TV speakers but shows are mixed now assuming 5.1 and decent quality components.

  2. You have a cheap sound bar or your sound bar is remixing in the fly to simulate surrounds and it’s messing with things.

  3. You haven’t properly calibrated your receiver with your speakers.

80% of the time it’s #1. The speakers built into your TV, no matter how nice your TV is, are probably fairly crappy, can’t produce bass properly, and do a lousy job when high dynamic range is at play

I have literally never had a problem with hearing/understanding dialogue ever since I got a system with a center channel.

It’s always people with shitty tv speakers or sound bar that only outputs stereo. Center channel is required.
