I’m constantly having to turn the volume up and down depending on the what the scene is. It’s not just me either. A lot of people I know have resorted to just turning on the closed captioning so they can hear what they’re saying. I don’t remember this being an issue before.

It’s just the way they’re mixed and it’s annoying, 100% agree. Entirely just an intentional style choice. I thought it was going to be a passing fad but it’s still going strong after a decade. Pretty sure it’s directors wanting their action to have more impact so they just make the music and explosions etc louder instead of making the effort to get us caring about the characters and story. I get around it by running a compressor. Depending what im watching on- either a separate piece of hardware, built in to the receiver, or just software (a browser plugin called Audio Channel is pretty handy when I’m using a computer. It has a “limiter” that’s actually a compressor. And it’s free).
