When I watch videos and play games, the people speaking in the background are significantly quieter than the foreground audio. The foreground audio is so loud but the background audio is so quiet even when the person in the background is in the scene as the other person that’s speaking to the person on the right. I tried changing my audio settings, factory resetting and force restarting my TV. This was never a problem until after I finished installing the new Roku Software update version 14.0 that was released on 10-4-2024. It’s really annoying and it’s hard to enjoy watching videos, movies, tv, listening to music and playing games. Please fix ASAP.
