For context, I have a first gen Apple TV 4K, and first gen stereo paired Homepods. Everything is updated to the latest version.
I was very excited to try this feature, but for some reason is misbehaving for me.
On apps that DOES NOT use Apple native A/V player, and only offer low quality stereo sound, like SkyShowtime, this does what is supposed to do, and make the audio and voices so much loud and clear. Is fantastic, because the untouched audio stream sounds very low and compressed and this helps a lot.
But on apps that use Apple native A/V player, and have 5.1 and Atmos content (like Netflix, Disney+, and Apple own apps), enabling this makes the voices sightly lower and muffled instead of louder. It does not make any sense.
Also, every now and then it will make the audio stream echo every few seconds, and to fix it, I have to exit and restart the playback.
It´s frustrating because, as it is right now, I cannot leave it enabled all the time, which is what I intended to do.
Any ideas?. Anyone else having issues?
Thanks in advance.

Just tried it again using the trailer of Five Days at Memorial (Apple TV+), and the episode 1 of the fall of the house of usher on Netflix.
In both cases it made the background sounds and music lower, but the voices lower as well.
I´m completely lost.
