Gee I sure love when the house is shaking every 10 minutes when there is something other then pure dialog in the movie.

I used to have the same problem with Interstellar.
>turn it up to hear whispered mumbles
>run to turn it down for ear splitting explosions
>>86078298
Why does this happen all the time?
>can hardly hear dialogue so turn up volume
>dialogue ends
>a gust of winds happens and explodes my amp and speakers
It's the industry pushing multi-channel home theater bullshit when very few homes will ever have the space/knowledge/equipment to do it correctly, but hey they gotta sell you shit right?
Stereo is more than adequate for practically everything, you can even do positional audio with it! In a professionally designed and operated environment like a theater sure it can make things more immersive but it's fucking cancer for home viewers.
It's a big reason why I don't watch movies hardly ever--the dialog is inaudible and everything else is ear-splitting loud, who the fuck is asking for this shit?
Now the 5.1/7.1 meme is hitting more and more television shows and I could not be any less excited.
I believe this can all be settled with stereo 2.1. Essentially all the bass gets routed to the subwoofer. Ac3filter has this option.

I honestly love 5.1 and it's perfectly configured for music in my room.
But this is what I use for movies specially at night when I don't want to wake up every neighbour.

Quiet things are quiet. Loud things are loud. Deal with it.

You mean watching on a monitor grandpa? I know electric mumbo jumbo is a bit too much for you.

That's just Nolan movies. Supposedly he does it on purpose but I dunno man.
I have no idea how people watch movies on a TV without subtitles. I can't 80% of the dialogue unless I have subtitles or headphones because they mix it so fucking low in most movies
>>86078298
Is that what fixes it?
I didn't spend all this cash to go back to 2.1
Loudness Equalization doesn't seem to do shit.

Subtitles are cancer. I read them by reflex even when I understand everything.

This >>86078793 is what I use at night. My motherboards audio software is what works the best.
>>86078506
Actually it is if you are not retarded,not to mention auto volume options on your tv of surround.
