can't hear dialogues in movies

[shazammm]

so i just noticed that when i'm in mpc players ther is no sound for the actor's voice just the background sound,tried pluging my speakers and headphones into the front panel audio port and the sound works. now if im using my speakers into the backpanel ports,the sound works in other video streaming sites like youtube etc, only in the media player i get this problem. perhaps i got this problem because i have updated my realtek audio driver

So all audio comes through, just not dialogue? that is extremely weird. try reverting back to the previous realtek driver.

Im thinking its something to do with the source not the realtek driver then.

Do you have any effects that you may have enabled in your sound settings? Like spatial suround or bass boost that could be affecting it

You probably have surround enabled. When you're listening to surround audio, dialogue typically comes through the center channel. Try setting your audio to stereo - that might help.

i do remember trying to play with the Realtek Audio Control settings,but don't remember why but the application suddenly uninstaled and keep trying to install it from the microsoft store but get an error(i've been getting errors trying to install any app) so i might have left there some option checked. any way i can disable this option using other software?

 

EDIT: I have fixed it by changing the speakers settings from surround to stereo from control panel sounds settings. (odd that dialogues in movies worked if i plugged my speakers into the front panel,maybe windows had different settings to that front panel)

thank you both for reminding me of that setting

That's not odd. The front panel audio is only capable of outputting stereo sound, so windows will automatically change to stereo sound if you plug something into the front panel.
