No dialog is probably a local problem, it happens fairly often. This
occurs when you have ac-3 sound and myth or your sound drivers are
confused and don't merge the center channel into your right and left.
(If you got no dialog and you are driving a center speaker, then it's their
fault.)
You need to play around with random settings in your alsamixer to fix this.
