My hearing is fine, but I want to eat chips.
The worst is when the audio itself is a fraction of a second off from the video. Literally unwatchable.
Thankfully VLC has the audio sync thing that is a god send.
Subtitle offsets are like timezones to me. Early/late? The video or the subtitle. Ohh well I’ll just move it in a direction and see, *subtitles disappear for a few seconds then appear again… * Stupid games.
Just noticed that the text is in that warm yellow subtitle hue.
Some movies dialog volume is soo wonked i can’t hear any words without subs.
I watched 28 Weeks Later last week, on my 5.1 system, and the mixing was absolutely atrocious. I was constantly adjusting the volume up to hear dialogue, only for a loud as fuck jump scare to blast out my ear drums.
Completely ruined any enjoyment I would have gotten from it.
There’s tools to normalize audio in a movie. Dynamic range compression or something like the dynaudnorm filter in ffmpeg.
