I have the same problem. Low volume (voices), turn up the volume. Loud sounds come on and wife complains.
I had a full blown entertainment audio system for a while - receiver, four speakers, and sub-woofer. Didn't help. The loud sounds were just LOUDER.
No idea about a sound bar.
Some receivers have a night mode to normalize the audio. You may want to look at the manual that came with yours.

The receiver should have let you adjust the channels independently. I had the same problem with my 5.1 setup and receiver before I realized this and cranked the center channel up a ton.
