    Buy a   Sony Wireless Speaker SRS-LSR200.  Amplifies speech which makes it more audible and brings it upto
    a level above the background noise.

    Purchased one for my mum who needs a hearing aid and she loves it.  We have purchased one also and starting to
    use it more, its great when you want to listen to audio and everyones in bed. I can hear the speech perfectly without
    the excessive background noise in some shows.

    It might be worth you taking a free hearing test, to confirm that the problem is not at "your head" end?!

    It's not you or your soundbar it's them.

    Mumbling Actor syndrome.  Jamaica Inn etc.,. etc.,.  Hollington Drive was hard to decipher some of the cast - especially one of the lead actresses actors  Anna Maxwell Martin


    Add in that many broadcasters are on currently on backup/reserve playout facilities and are having troubles with things (C4 especially had sound coding problems 5.1 to stereo downmixing going wrong).
