What do I need to buy to make speech intelligible in modern shows and movies? I assumed I was just getting old until I watched some older films and shows and discovered that, no, mixing is just trash these days that makes it impossible to hear what’s being said. What can I buy/change to make human voices stand out?

@kingrat Yeah, me too, but it can kill a joke delivery so it’s bad for funny stuff

@dx Oh. 😬 I missed the joke. That's just my normal day to day gripe!

@kingrat No, no! No joke. Real gripe. Sorry! I meant CC can ruin the timing of a spoken joke

@dx Our Apple TV has an Enhance Dialogue option. It helps! It seems ridiculous that this is needed. I would like to hear from some people in this profession who could maybe explain what the heck is going on.

@dx I watch almost everything with closed captions on now.
