Probably not, or the mix might be off. It's worth checking. Your experience seems consistent with a missing center track (which contains most of the dialogue sound).

Which really isn't the person you're replying tos problem. Stereo should just work you shouldn't need to get a center channel.
It might very well be his setup that's causing the problem.
Changing my setup might fix it but people watch a LOT of Netflix on stereo setups. Respectfully, this is their problem.
It depends on what you mean by "stereo setup". In the extremely common scenario of you having a 5.1 amp with just 2 speakers plugged in, it's your amp that's doing the downmix for you.
