Get a TV with a built in compressor, get a video player with a compressor, or put a compressor somewhere in your audio chain.
The keyword would being "compressor".

you mean like a sound compressor guns have too?
it happens because you're pushing 6-8 sound channels through 2 speakers. The sound effects/music come through all 6-8 channels, dialogue only comes through 2, so dialogue is half the volume it should be and sound effects are double.

That's a *supressor*. An audio compressor reduces dynamic range.
Basically, but not exactly, that means soft sounds get lounder and loud sounds get quieter.
If you have one a jerkoff foley mix won't blow your head off when the whispering commandos set off their explosives.
