"Jack, I swear..." on the DVD
rtprod:
I think this is attributed simply to the transfer of the DVD and the home sound system, versus the different theater venues, prints and sound systems.
I don't think the film was altered in any way prior to DVD release, and it sounds exactly the same on my commercial release DVD as on the Academy screener I have had since November.
I saw the film in multiple theaters and two of them had slight alternations in their sound -- Dolby to THX, mixes between speakers that wrapped around versus just in front, audio too low, etc., and on a few occasions the "I swear" line was not audible and companions quickly asked, "What did he say?"
It would seem an improbability that they would loop this line for the DVD in a different way, it's just not a standard thing to do and the explanation is likely a variance in sound systems.

I'm thinking rt is right, though I will say that the two times I've watched my DVD I've thought to myself, that line sounds really wrong, like they changed it. I thought it was just me, I'm glad it isn't

I am just 99% convinced it's different. It's as if he's trembling when he says it now on the DVD. To me it didn't sound that way in the theatres.
Brown Eyes:
The sound on my DVD just sounds a bit muffled in general. I know some people have been complaining about the DVD being too dark, but for me the problem is definitely the sound. I've been noticing the tears in Ennis's eyes a lot more during my home viewings than I did in theater viewings.

sfericsf and all, I noticed the difference as well. I never had a problem understanding it in the theater (although the question did get posted a lot), but I immediately thought it was nearly inaudible and mumbled on the DVD. But I have to agree what others have said - it doesn't make much sense that they would deliberately alter it, it's most likely a transfer issue.
