I don't know but I am assuming that this (or something like it) is the 
cause.  I do not have any experience with this concept.

It plays on my Mac (using whatever DVD player is provided) and on a 
conventional stand-alone DVD player and it also works fine in mplayer on 
my older linux box (Pentium II) with a SoundBlaster card.

I use the "green" mini-plug stereo line output to an amplifier.

Not using it on purpose, I simply have all of it's channels turned on in 
case the dialog tracks are being sent to some other mixer input.
