There are a few ways to fix the problem so you don't have to put up with missing out on dialog.

Amazon Prime Video includes what it calls a Dialog Boost mode.

The Apple TV 4 K has an option to enhance dialog.

If there's nothing on your streaming device, check your soundbar, if you've got one.

From the main Roku menu on the home screen, choose Remotes & devices > Wireless headphones > Add new wireless headphones and follow the instructions on screen. This is one advantage of watching movies and shows through streaming apps running on a game console (like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X): They're set up with wireless headset support in mind, so you'll find plenty of headphones on the market that can connect to your console in seconds , and then stream the audio from your movies and shows straight to your ears..
