This feature is designed to make it easier to hear the dialogue in movies and TV shows, especially when there's a lot of background noise. It's a common problem that many people experience, and it's often due to the difference in the equipment used to record and master audio compared to the equipment most of us use to listen to it. Some streaming platforms, like Amazon Prime Video, have started offering audio tracks with boosted dialogue, but many don't, and even those that do don't have it for everything.

Personally, I find the "Boost dialogue" option to be helpful in videos. However, in my testing it seems like it's not able to differentiate between a video and a song, as it definitely has an effect on my chosen equalizer settings within the Spotify and YouTube Music apps. Hopefully, a fix for this is on the way.
Another useful audio feature in One UI 6.1.1 is Loudness normalization. This feature helps prevent sudden changes in volume when you're listening to music. For example, if you switch to a song that's much louder or quieter than the previous one, One UI will adjust the volume to keep it consistent.
