Yeah, it bothers me when people say the speakers are subpar rather than criticize the creators for making better mixes for the average household. It doesn’t help when every TV tries to pretend like it has surround and tells the streaming service it is 5.1 surround when the service doesn’t have a way to manually swap the audio.
Also it annoys me that dialogue only captions aren’t a more common option.
The best closed captioning I have seen is the most recent season of Stranger Things. They describe the sounds like “wet squelching” and the mood of the music like “hope synth crescendos” and stuff. So much better than “[music]”.
For the perfect example of the whisper problem watch any episode of Star trek discovery. The main character whispers almost every line and it’s very disturbing.
