When I set up my computer and tried to watch regular commercial DVD's, I noticed the the music and action sounds were much higher than the voices or talking. If I turned up the volume on my speakers so I could hear the voices, then the music and Fx sounds were way too loud. At the time I was using WMP. I discovered that VLC had more audio control including the ability to "level" the sound. This helped immensely and now I can play DVD's so I can here the voice and music aspects of the audio equally.

However, when I watch a streaming movie (all formats) off the internet, I have the same problem. Combine that with a slight hearing disability and its downright frustrating. In order to watch the movies I have to turn the volume to max so I can hear the words - and even then if someone whispers in the movie - forget it! I am constantly raising and lowering the volume because when an action scene comes on the music and sound Fx are too loud. Is there any inexpensive fix to this problem.
