How do I fix my surround sound?

Why is the speech on my surround sound not as loud as the background noise I am always turning it up for speech and down for the sound effects or music as then it is too loud How do you fix this?

  • Answer:

    Look for a "dynamic range compression" setting or something similar in your amplifiers audio settings. You may have to check the manual as different brands may use different terms to describe the same thing. It will reduce the variation in the volume levels in the movie sound track. Your sound should still be good, it doesn't seem to spoil the sound quality on my setup. From memory the setting applies only to Dolby Digital audio, and does not apply to DTS or stereo sound.
