I had that problem, but it was with a football game, the fake crowd noise that was added to the broadcast was so loud, I couldn't hear the announcers. The new modern TVs come with adjustments. Go into your menu and select audio. Mine is a Samsung and under audio I have 'standard', 'music', 'movie', 'clear voice' and 'amplify'. Select the different ones and see how it works for you. On my TV 'music' was the best at eliminating the background noise.
