I took the stereo mix from the first DVD release of 'Speed' and synced it to the 4K release. A very different mix compared to the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track. I guess it comes down to preference which sounds better to you.
It should sync to the remastered BD as well.
I converted it to a 16-bit .wav file.
Let me know if you're interested.

Speed had a lot of multiple mixes allegedly, despite only having Dolby stereo SR digital in the credits. Apparently there was also a DTS Mix. Fox had everything covered for theaters that went digital but didn’t have full 5.1.

Speed was mixed 5.1 native late into production, a choice partly responsible for the budget going over what Fox were comfortable with. Like other tentpoles of this era, a Dolby Stereo mix was made for theaters without Dolby Digital and analog setups like TV/video.
The DD and DTS 5.1 mixes are very similar, just different volume and base levels at certain points. Starting with the 2001 DVD, I believe they went back to the uncompressed 5.1 master mix and did a few "near field" adjustments for home theater applications, which is why the DVD/BD/UHD mixes sound slightly different than the DTS LD mix or the 5.1 on the 1998 non-anamorphic DVD.

Just to be clear, does this sync up to the UHD and the Blu-ray? Because some Blu-ray are 4K sourced, but do not always have the same sync as the UHD version.

The poster for Speed has the SR Dolby Stereo Digital logo that was used for early 5.1 mixes.
