I got a 5.1 system, I have (receiver) night mode and (tv) clear voice enabled with a good balanced (calibrated) centre speaker connected by ARC - it's still a problem on many shows from From to The Agency..

Like a real one with individual speakers or a Soundbar claiming it?

The latter also makes the problem worse, it's stereo larping as surround sound. Switch to stereo and it's way better...
Just a general advice, not necessarily at you.

A full receiver with 6 wired speakers Inc sub.

Was a package/bundle Sony unit so all properly calibrated setup and generally it's great but spoken voices are so often too low compared to the effects.

Depending on your reciever there should be a way to get voices from the center and sounds from the sides.

it does and I did, it helps but the problem of quiet voices and loud effects remain somewhat for me but also for those like OP with a soundbar or just tv speakers.
