I'm having a problems with the audio in movies.  That is, for many action movies the sound effects are painfully louder than voice dialog. I haven't heard much difference between bitstreaming the audio versus not.  It's almost as if I should be modifying the "room correction" for increasing the volume for the center channel, but that would be a hassle changing it back for music.

What have others done?

TIA

create a zone for movies

Thanks Tao ... I created a zone as a copy, named it 'Movies' and made the appropriate adjustment to the center speaker. This works for what I need for movies independent of music.

However, whereas right-clik integration allowed for simply adding media files to the player, it seems I'll not be able to do this for the "movie zone" created, and instead I have to drag the media file to the zone.  That said, if the "movie zone" was the last zone accessed, "add to playing now" seems to add it to that zone instead of the "player" zone.  This almost makes sense but there are no visual clues as to which zone is the focus, and may cause confusion when using MC the next day and for another purpose.  What am I missing?

Thanks MWillems I was just about to edit my last post letting all know I had found ZoneSwitch and added rules for audio versus video...

The best solution to this, for me was to get a better center channel. Bigger in my case.
