Dolby Atmos on the PS5 with Arc Ultra has imbalanced audio levels

This is my third question. I divided them up since they are for different issues.

When I pick Dolby Atmos on the PS5 (Pro) sound settings, then volume levels in games don’t seem right. In god of war ragnarok Mimirs voice is too quiet, and Atreus voice is too loud. Boss battle effects are also super loud. In tekken 8 the commentators voice is too quiet. However If I change to LPCM, then the volume levels are much more even, and what I would expect. It’s one thing for some effects to be so loud, but it doesn’t make sense for character voices to have different db levels.

I am wondering if this has anything to do with the Arc Ultra, or if other Dolby Atmos soundbars will have the exact same issue to the same extent? Does the Arc Ultra highlight the issue more than say a Samsung soundbar? With the TV speakers it’s not that noticeable. It’s an LG C4 so it supports Dolby Atmos, but obviously it also has much less capable speakers.

I’m having a similar problem with Black Myth Wukong, PS5, Arc Ultra + Era 300 surrounds. It’s totally imbalanced and I’m hoping there’s a solution somewhere.

Do you have Night Sound enabled in the Sonos app? It seems to be causing issues with Dolby Atmos and 5.1 audio.
