Reply to comment by HKChad in Why is the sound mixing in modern TV shows so bad? by poet3322

Isn't stereo just downmixed from surround on most streamers? In my experience it leaves whatever would normally be in the center channel nearly inaudible.

So it likely depends on your tv, but on mine cheap bedroom tv at least switching the output to stereo seemed to mix the left/ right more even so it's not so loud during explosions and quiet during dialog. On my main tv i have sonos which has the ability to increase voice and decrease background while still being surround.
