For example, how do our ears easily discern that someone talking in a room is actually there vs the dialogue coming from a television is not physically there?

Because the transducers you are using to either capture and/or reproduce the audio are trash.

Listening to an excellent recording on properly placed, high quality speakers being driven by an equally excellent source would be a much different experience.
