I have a pretty nice soundbar setup, but dialogue volume is still really low for many sources -- it's just mixed that way. Soundbar may not be a real solution.

I don't want to compress or have to do trickery :( Usually we put subtitles on as a temp fix

Uff, thanks for the input, but that sucks

Was hoping for rather simple fix, because current movies aren't actually watchable at home
Even in the cinema, the sound effects are turned up to 11, and sometimes the actors still whisper and can be hardly understood

At least most blockbusters don't even have a real story to follow anyway...
