If anyone uses Kodi, there's an audio setting to downmix the center channel that helps with this. This comic is hilarious btw.

Why though? You want the center channel up and the mains and surrounds down. Most of the dialogue comes through the center.

Down-mix does not mean reduce volume, it means output for a smaller number of channels than originally intended. The idea is to create your own mix that prioritizes the centre channel more than the standard mix does.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to check if Stremio has that. Is there a way that I could configure it on my amp? That might be a more reliable approach. The amp has a dialogue mode, but it's not great. Medium setting on that mode produces slightly more intelligible speech. Does downmixing the center have any negative consequences, like not getting an actual surround sound experience? I love the enhanced experience from sounds coming from behind me, the sides, etc.

Yeah, it's more for someone with a two channel system. If you have a centre channel, just turn it up :)
