You'll have to live with it. When you set the aperture (AV) you have to
choose between a dark background or a slow shutter speed. The slow
shutter speed is needed to correctly expose the background, if you cut
down the shutter speed, underexposure is unavoidable. There's nothing
you can do about it short of an extra flash unit (or several of them)
for the background.
