This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

the solution is Dynamic Range Compression. VLC player has it, but it needs to be configured first. One of the big reasons why I don't use netflix/hulu/primevideo/whatever+

From my other comment:

Watch using windows 10 computer, right click on sound in task bar, go to “sounds”, click on “playback”, double click on your output, go to “enhancements” and enable “loudness equalization”

It’s a MIRACLE. You can hear voices AND explosions don’t ruin your ears!

It even works on YouTube and stuff. My partner and I will not watch stuff without it on. We have something else on our Linux box but that’s more fiddly and doesn’t do as good of a job (and I forgot what it’s called hahaha)

Easyeffects pipewire works fine with Linux. The dev has dynamic compression presets for the program on his git.

I know how you feel. I spent a week failing to learn about compressors and shit before stumbling onto some random comment mentioning it. Was so happy I wanted to send the dev like, money or something, but unfortunately the guy is a ghost.
