Hello,

Years, i wanted your team to add an audio boost for the voice/central channel. KODI has this feature for a while, but we don’t. In KODI, i am able to simply add +8 db (for example) on voice channel and it is making the 5.1 movies downsample to 2.0 better to hear and to understand correctly the dialogues without playing with the remote every 20 seconds. Is it so much to ask ?

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to boost the dialogue/center audio. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.  
Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

> So, just reading my daily news and came across this: I wasn’t sure if this is something that could be implemented into Plex. My wife and I constantly have this issue with various movies and shows. Our surround system booms during sound effects and scores, but we’re constantly adjusting the volume back and forth when dialogue comes across. We eventually give up most of the time and turn on subtitles instead. Thanks!
