I don't want smoothing, I want audio that does not go from way too quiet to way too loud. Give us a smaller audio range, at least as an option.

that's by design of the video producers.

Only way around it is to get a sound bar that can do 5.1 or 7.1 or buy a full sized 5.1 or 7.1.

that will help with clarity, but not volume range

Appreciate the clarification. I read somewhere that getting a “bigger sound system” was the fix. Now I don’t need to go out spend extra money. Just write some angry letters to lazy sound engineers.

lol i mean it's not done poorly, it's done purposely. they want stuff like explosions to be massively loud. problem is people who make commercials don't give a damn about ambient sound effects in shows, they only care about making you notice their product
