For a decent soundbar expect to pay about 200 to 250 but yes it should improve. Tvs are made with incredibly cheap shit speakers usually facing backwards.
Spend an extra 50 bucks and get 5.1 soundbar that comes with a satellite box for bass.
It will send the lows and the highs out of different speakers , and overall experience better. Worth the trip to Costco
Sound bar will help, what you need is an audio compressor. Basicly a compressor brings the low volume up, and high volume down. Compressing the signal. I use one for playing guitar.
I do have the same problem I went with a 2.1 soundbar woofer. I had to tweak the EQ settings its better now but still happens.
No, only watching movies with white actors in them will make them easier to understand.
You should get a receiver and a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. That will give you a separate front channel through which most movies will play dialogue. Then you can separately adjust the front channel to be louder than the left/right channels.
I will research it. Thanks
Might your system be hooked up wrong currently? Is it a surround system? If so it might be diverting the dialog to the center speaker port where you have nothing plugged in. Sometimes when playing pirated movies the channels are weird and I don't get dialog, and have to downmix to stereo first.
Its tv only.
I have built in speakers in a few of my monitors and the sound quality is atrocious. Speech isn't clear and it takes effort to understand what is being said. The $15 speakers I bought are significantly better but are still objectively crap. Look into getting a stereo or 5.1 set of speakers. A sound bar might not be a big improvement on what you have now, and they're not cheap. I don't know much about sound, but I'm pretty sure that small speakers can't give you good quality sound--that's just physics.
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.

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.
Some receivers have a night mode to normalize the audio. You may want to look at the manual that came with yours.
Idk
Lol, same here. Closed caption. She hates it.
That happens every few movies, some line of dialog requires listening several times, then finally breaking down and turning on subtitles for a minute.
Subs definitely.
A sound bar will help but what will do a ton of work is adjusting the Equalizer properly
