This is normal on a DVD. The sound is normaly recorded at a lower volume than on any other media. Just turn your speakers up

"Many people complain that the audio level from DVD players is too low. In truth the audio level is too high on everything else. Movie soundtracks are extremely dynamic, ranging from near silence to intense explosions. In order to support an increased dynamic range and hit peaks (near the 2V RMS limit) without distortion, the average sound volume must be lower. This is why the line level from DVD players is lower than from almost all other sources. So far, unlike on CDs and LDs, the level is much more consistent between discs. If the change in volume when switching between DVD and other audio sources is annoying, you can adjust the output signal level on some players, or the input signal level on some receivers, but other than that, there's not much you can do."

From DVD Review FAQ, section 3.6.2, last paragraph.

Try the Dolby Headphone option on your DVD software, it may help.
