      Yeah it’s bad… It’s gotten to the point that I have unironically said “Wait! Where are my subtitles? I can’t hear without my subtitles!”

        Likely a combination of both. Even on my 5.1 with the center channel set to max, the voices can still be hard to make out on some movies.

        The former. I saw a youtube video that it’s really difficult to master something that’s made for the cinema down to a normal stereo sound. Also film makers care more for authenticity than before. Times when actors turned towards the camera and laid on their poshest accent are over.
