Issue:
Home theatre - Sony BDV-E3200 Real 5.1ch Dolby Digital Blu-ray Home Theatre System
Tv - LG 43UK6560PTC (43-inch) 4K Ultra HD Smart TV
I am using the above tv and paired it with the above home theatre system. I have noticed an issue in this setup. While I am watching films in Netflix and prime video (all the other platforms also support 5.1 output but I only have the subscription of these two), mainly during action scenes, The sound suddenly gets unbearably loud and I have to decrease the volume. in normal scenes with conversation, it sounds too low and I have to increase the volume again. There seems to be no issue when playing DVDs. this has became an issue and I am fed up by it. To solve this issue, I searched the internet. In it, I found that most of the people are suggesting certain things i tried them out and these are the results:
suggestion 1) increase the volume of the center cannel
result - by increasing it, I actually get a somewhat improved vocals but, the other things like explosions, music etc. are getting very loud again. So, I ruled this out.
suggestion 2) reverse the center channel with front speakers to test is there is any issue with the centre speaker
result - in my home theatre system, the groves where the speakers are plugged in have a different shape for different speakers. So, I also ruled this out.
suggestion 3) changing the sound effect (Dolby, DTS etc.)
result - No matter what sound effect i keep it in, Vocals still sound muffled.
Checks that i have done:
audio, the voice here also sounds very crisp. This problem is only present when watching films through OTT platforms. I played a film through a DVD and i sounded really good, The vocals
are very clear. I am using standard components but still it sounds bad. I cannot find any relevant answers in the internet and I think that this is a huge issue for many people. That's why
i am writing this. Anyone please suggest me anything to solve this. I am ready to provide any more information if necessary.

Checks that i have done:
- Both the OTT platforms are updated
- They have no options inside the app to tweak audio settings
- All the speakers are working fine
- DTV audio setting (in TV) is set to auto (I have no idea what it is, i have given the options available in images provided)
- They are Connect via a good quality HDMI cable via eARC and Simplink turned on
