Reply to comment by AdmiralAckbarPlease in Why is the sound mixing in modern TV shows so bad? by poet3322

Like, not everybody’s room can functionally support 5.1 audio, just based on geometry and materials and other architectural details beyond your control.

We should still get to watch TV too, though!

Right. The flip side of this, is that maybe people should figure out how to turn up the center channel so they can get more of the dialogue

They’re not mixing dialogue to the center channel anymore. It doesn’t help. Finding that out was $600 right down the fucking drain, by the way.

The one thing I’ve done that did help is get an Apple TV and two HomePods, which I placed right where we sit on the couch. Just physically being nearer to the speakers was a marked increase in intelligibility.
