Good lord, don't do that unless you have the technical skills to put it back where it's supposed to be!
The easiest thing to do is if you have a 2nd DTS unit, switch the prints around during a show when it's not going to sell out, and see if the problem moves. If it does, it's the print (or the CDs). If it doesn't it's the DTS.
If you don't have a 2nd DTS house, switch the prints and try running a different print in the DTS theater to see if the problem persists. If it does, it's the DTS. If it doesn't, it's the print (or the CDs).
From what's been posted here though, it sounds like a print problem.

I just saw "Bruce Almighty" in a THX house with DTS at the Carmike 10 here in Huntsville. The DTS started dropping out about halfway through the movie (which would be around reel 3). Most of the second half of the movie played in analog. So, in this case, the problem was not isolated to reel 3. The analog sound had a noticeable and distracting slight "talking under water" sound to it. Normally, when I hear about problems with a print's sound like this, I am lenient and do not deduct for it in the rating on my web site, but in this case, since they've been playing that print for 6 days, there is no excuse for not switching that print with a print in one of the THX houses with Dolby Digital to avoid the problem. Also, the analog sound should be maintained. This location has often been guilty of not keeping their analog sound maintained since theoretically it should never be used. Another factor in my decision is there have been more problems than usual at this theatre lately, and some are problems that have been happening for nearly 2 years.
