(insert lengthy explanation and complaint about compression and audio mixing here)
You can usually skip all of it by telling people to get an actual sound system and not using built in TV speakers
We didn’t mix it poorly! You just haven’t spent enough money yet!
This person audios
This person used to mix audio for broadcast.
Yeah, but that unfortunately is asking someone to spend some decent money. It’s a problem that could definitely be fixed in softw- Oh no. Don’t get me started… Nice try.
The AppleTV 4k box has actually implemented some very effective menu options to deal with this on shitty speakers. Commence downvoting me for using an Apple product.
Downvoted for preemptive whining about downvotes.
I shall never recover from this

Downvoting for downvote complaining.
That being said I don’t hate AppleTV. Its infinitely better than samsung smart TV bs that makes me want to bash my head against a walnut tree.
Fuck that, use vlc and turn on volume normalization in the audio settings, or turn the volume down to barely audible and use subtitles if you’re doing some weird “paid service” to play your video files.
My B&W’s hooked to discrete amps beg to differ.
My new TV and its speakers sound a lottttt better than my old TV and soundbar.
I had two basic options. Thin and light TV with a new soundbar. Or ‘chunky’ TV with decent speakers, and the option of soundbar going forwards.
I went the chunky route and, at the moment, I hear no need for a soundbar. It’s passed the Christopher Nolan test with ease.
Both Interstellar and Tenet were watched with no issues at all.
But, generally, yeah TV speakers are tinny rubbish.
