[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3320718, member: 3099"] I also had never heard of Clear Voice until I read dennishoddy's post. So I went and grabbed the manual for my cheapo Samsung sound bar and sure enough it has a clear voice mode. Switched it over and it does help. I may upgrade as it appears everyone seems to have their own version and this is a bargain basement model. I was reading up on this and I found a lot of people have this problem and it's compounded by the studios mixing. I found out why I've never been a fan of "Surround Sound". EVER. Wife has always wanted me to buy a big surround system. I never have because I can't stand the effect of it, even before I had much hearing loss. They jack with the sound hard in their mixing, they add in a ton of "effects" to the already packed sounds that they throw in there. They purposely play certain sounds on certain channels and then move certain ones around to create an effect of sound moving such as an explosion reverberating and dissipating. All of this seems to obliterate or overpower the dialog. It's always been maddening to me. Those of us with hearing loss know that it's very frustrating to be talking to someone right in front of you, and you can hear them talking just fine, but background sound makes it to where you can't pick up on what they are saying. The movie studios don't help this they make it worse. Clear voice does seem to negate some of this. [/QUOTE]
