That explanation makes a lot of sense; I remember this movie being very surround sound intensive, so I'm almost definite it's trying to play surround sound through 2 channels, which is why I can't hear anything. Unfortunately, I have no means of hooking the macbook up to the home theater. Is there a way to force 2 channel audio, or better yet, can I burn the movie to a DVD and watch it that way? Thanks!

I usually run my Mac Mini's audio output via optical cable to my home stereo. I usually only have left/right speakers since the kids play with the other ones so on the stereo I have to turn off the missing speakers, including the center channel. One time I had Center turned on even though there was no speaker and wondered where the dialog went. Had to turn things way up just to hear it because it was just the bleedthrough on the left/right. So if iTunes is dropping the center channel rather than mixing it with the left/right that could explain it.
