dialogue that's almost impossible to hear so you turn it up and then fucking BOOM or they play some music that's 2x volume of the rest of the film.

I read somewhere that this is because we're using 2.0 channels (TV or soundbars) rather that the true 5.1 where the movie relies on the centre channel for voices. Not sure how true, but, like i said, #moarspeakers

That is very likely the reason but there should be two audio streams available for movies and your tv should be set to play the appropriate one. Whether the guys mixing it ever bothered to do a proper 2 channel mix probably depends on budget though.

Usually in a 5.1 the centre channel carries the dialogue. So much mumbling goes on these days it probably doesn't help anyway.
