Halloween Complete Collection Audio Weirdness - Blu-ray Forum

I was watching the original Halloween, the 35th anniversary version from the complete collection from Shout, and noticed something. I tried both the 7.1 Dolby TrueHD and the mono Dolby TrueHD....and it seemed off. I don't know what I haven't noticed it before, having had the set for years now.

At the very beginning, when Judith is making out with her boyfriend, on the blu ray, you can't hear what she or him is saying. The boyfriend says "Are you sure we're alone ?" Judith says "I think Michael's around here somewhere."

I know that that's what's said, as I've heard it before. But last night, there was nothing. As I said, I tried the mono track and the 7.1 track and could BARELY hear anything. I turned the volume way up and THEN I could hear it. I used both the surround mode and all channel stereo. In all channel stereo, the dialogue was just barely there.

Again, I don't know why I haven't noticed this before. Maybe because I normally don't watch this movie on the tv in my bedroom and normally use the tv in the living room.

Would there be much of a difference between watching with stereo tv speakers and a surround sound system ? Not a massive deal...I was just wondering.
