if i had to guess, it would be because you are watching your movies in stereo? DVD's were meant for 5.1 surround.. the reason the dialogue might be so faint may be because of the fact that you only have 2 speakers, and in order to emulate the effect of lets see.. a "rear right" speaker, it would have to project the voices much quieter.. but stuff like music is just presented to the front stage.. which is what you have if you only have 2 speakers, you have just a front stage. just my 2 cents, no garuntee that is right, im sure someone else has input for you though.
