Default loud background, no sound

Please help,

When I watch a movie, all background sounds (door opens, birds fly, walking) are really loud, while I barely hear the actual conversations, the actors talking. What could it be? What should I do?

Thank you for any help

try using another bit of software, it's probably a decoding problem. Try VLC media player if you're not already, it's a free download and plays everything under the sun!
