Hopefully we can fix before Infinity War hits the streets?

Petition for them to fix it on their UHDs first.

It's called a waste of time, but knock yourself out I guess.

You wasted more time initially clicking on this link and responding to this thread than it takes to sign the petition. However you want to rationalize that....

Thanks. I just thought it was nice some of the guys over at avsforum were trying to do something. Didn't know if anyone over here knew about it that's all.

I think you need to raise a more vocal stink to really get the message across.

Maybe email Disney, mail 'em a letter, post audio comparison videos or speak to them on social media. Petitions in 2018 don't really have the same power as they did in 2004.

The best petition is to stop buying the discs.

inb4 this prompts Disney to kill off its home video line and go streaming only as soon as physical sales drop.

Has anyone with an actual surround sound system experienced this oddity? I experienced it with a system consisting only of a soundbar and a subwoofer.

I have a 7.1 SS and yes! Age of Ultron was bad, TFA 3d wasn't as bad but lower than the PT and OT. Civil War wasn't as bad. Even when adjusting the volume the sound feels a bit flat when it should be more of a bang. I really expect more from a studio like disney. But why should they care they know you'll buy them. I'll sign though.

Black Panther is the biggest goat f*ck I've heard so far. There is no punch or even volume present in the sound design. It's anemic which is inexcusable. I've heard Dolby digital tracks with more power than this.

Did you experience the exact problem I described, though?

So... is the audio only bad if you've got a crazy setup or something? Because the audio is fine to me on a regular old TV.

Well it's actually retooled to work better for a TV or a soundbar. They pushed most of the sound field to the front channels, lowered the LFE and pushed dialog up in the mix. On a nice surround system most people have to turn the system up 5-10% louder than what they listen to most films at their loudest setting. If this was a drama with mostly dialog in the sound field it would be fine but this is a big action film that lacks any real punch. It's a bummer, it doesn't sound like "shit" as the sound is very clear and no errors, it's just weak. Thor Ragnorak suffered the same fate as well. Both of them are two of the weakest sounding ATMOS tracks I've heard.
