More control over volume levels?

Now I don't know if I'm just freaking deaf or what, does anyone else have a problem hearing voice while watching movies or playing games without separate volume controls?

My girlfriend and I have been watching the Harry Potter movies and I have to keep rewinding it because they will say something but I can't hear it just because the sound effects and/or music is just overpowering. (This happens with almost any movie or show I watch.) when I mentioned it to her she actually agreed that it's like that with her too.

So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "why in the fuck don't they just make it to where you can have separate volume controls like in games... Seriously... It wouldn't be that god damned hard for DVDs and BluRays to have this function...

How are you listening to the sound?  Through TV speakers, or through some type of sound system?

If you are using a good quality sound system, you can adjust the volume of individual speakers.  In sounds system setups using 3 or more speakers, most voice comes from the center channel.

Na just tv because my 1000w home stereo sploded bout 2 months ago.

But even with my home stereo adjusted it still always seems like voice is too quiet. I don't have this problem while listening to music or when people is around me so I know I'm not all deaf lol.

You should still be able to make some adjustments to the sound.  Most TV's have multiple sounds choices (like "music," "movie," theater" or others).  Look for a button on your remote.  If that doesn't help, you might look into replacing your sound system with something that can be adjusted to you liking.

funnily enough, we watched interstellar last night, on blu-Ray, and the sound mixing on it was appalling.  We both really struggled to hear the dialogue. And that's through a decent Sony home cinema amp.  If anyone hasn't seen it yet, don't bother, apart from the terrible sound mixing, the script is awful, and story full of holes.  Biggest disappointment in a sci fi film since independance day.

But back on topic, I never had a problem hearing the dialogue with the Harry potters.
