This effect is especially bad for originally English series and movies. I understand English pretty well, but it's incredibly difficult for me to watch movies on a TV. Either I have to wear headphones, or set the TV volume uncomfortably loud.

I find the audio mix on a lot of movies is such that turning it up makes almost no difference. It barely improved the dialog loudness, just increases the obnoxiously loud music and sound effects.

Older media seems to have a more even mix. It is probably a 5.1 through my stereo speakers thing but I'm not sure how to fix it or if even can be fixed.
