Feature Request: ARC - Variable Speech Enhancement

This feature request is for user-variable level control for the ARC speech enhancement effect.

My TV audio setup is currently ARC+2xONE SL+Sub(gen 3).

I’ve tuned and enabled TruePlay

With speech enhancement off, I find the speech level is a bit buried in the rest of the audio. I tried speech enhancement and it works great, but it feels like it’s about twice as much as I need. The speech is very intelligible, but is too emphasized (along with some other sounds) for my needs and comfort.

So, I propose that the Speech enhancement level be adjustable, similar to treble and bass controls (but with only positive range of adjustment).

Thanks

I second the request for different levels of Speech Enhancement and/or better med ranges eq control.

Dialogue clarity lacking without SH, with SH on many sources sound harsh and unnatural.
