When I use a sample disc, I find the right volume that I wanna listen to movies to (on my soundbar it’s around 20) and just close my eyes and listen. It doesn’t drown the dialogue out, but it makes it harder to understand.īecause the lossy compression needs to have that sound effect in the track, the lack of dynamic range means the track has no way to distinguish what is suppose to be more important, the sound effect, or the dialogue.Ĭhalk this to lazy sound mixing when they were making the compression perhaps, but it was the first time I noticed the variation between lossless and lossy tracks in movies. What was once soft background noise now overpowers the scene and fights for the listeners attention over the dialogue. It’s like they are sitting inches from the fireplace. Now, when you switch over to the lossy track on that same scene, the sounds of the fireplace have become front and centre in the scene. It’s not meant to be the focal object you’re listening to, but it helps create ambiance in the scene. Dolby TrueHD is a lossless, multi-channel audio codec developed by Dolby Laboratories for home video, used principally in Blu-ray Disc and compatible. The typical bit rate of a Dolby AC4 stream for Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 restitution is 288 Kbps. The Advanced Coupling technology can incorporate extra metadata (Dolby Atmos for example) and can support up to 12 channels. While their voices are clean and precise, the fire lightly crackles in the distance. The typical bit rate for a Dolby AC4 5.1 channel is 192 Kbps, compared to the 384 to 640 Kbps needed for Dolby AC3 (Dolby Digital). Look for content encoded with Dolby Digital Plus on Blu-ray Disc and on streaming platforms such as Netflix, Vudu, or Amazon Fire TV.

Watching it on its lossless soundtrack, the fireplace is out of focus, so you know there’s distance from the primary actors talking, but you can hear it in the background. Dolby Digital Plus is also a core format for Dolby Audio, built into Windows 10 and the new Microsoft Edge browser, available on PCs and the Surface tablet.

There’s a scene early in the film where there was a fireplace in the background. I dunno if this is accurate, but because TrueHD is uncompressed, it allows for a larger dynamic range soundscape.Īn example of this I found to be Tron Legacy.
