Question

How to fix very low dialogue but very loud sound effects ?

by Nikoy0695 Jan 2, 2017 2:27AM PST

Hi,

I would like to know How to fix very low dialogue but very loud sound effects in the movies? The difference between the voice and the sound effects/music are really huge, that is why most of the time when I watch movies I turn the volume up really high to hear their conversation and I turn it down when sound effects are playing because it's too loud. I use a soundbar which is LGSH5B connected to my LG50'' 6300LB TV via HDMI. What should I do to balance these sounds? Also the dialogue gets much better when I turn the (Netflix movie) sound setting of the movie from 5.1 to stereo but the downside is the sound effects are not as amazing as 5.1. I would like to have the sound effects of 5.1 but with clearer dialogue. Thank You!
