Bose TV speakers - weird audio balancing
I bought a Bose TV speaker (190€).
Got it connected to my TV, while my PC is connected to the TV as well.

I'm happy with the sound, but I noticed that when I'm playing a game (for example) the music will constantly get drowned out by sound effects and such, then when it's quiet the music's volume gradually raises again.

Is this just a limitation of the speakers? I've had 20€ speakers that didn't have any such problem.

It feels really artificial, like it's an equalizer doing it. It can't be the speaker's dialogue mode since I've tried with and without and they both have that issue.

Can't find anyone with similar experiences either. (Sorry for the settings being in german, though I think 80% of these should be easy to infer if they even matter)

Change the audio setting from auto to any of the other options and see if its better.

LG TV? Does the speaker have ports for an optical cable? I usually run my tv speakers using optical out. I noticed doing this disables all the TVs internal EQ crap.

I've fiddled with it. ChatGPT recommended PCM and MPEG (I swear it recommended bitstream in a prior session; maybe it's hallucinating after all).
I feel like it's marginally better, but I still notice some "dimming" on the audio when dialogue or sound effects happen. Updated the TV too (used to have it entirely offline)

Yup, it's an LG.
It does have an optical cable slot, but doesn't optical have much lower sound quality? I used to have it connected via optical but vaguely remember it having the same problem.
