How do I get audio to play when watching a DVD?
I can get audio when playing a CD in the DVD drive & the CD player. WMP works with downloaded music.
I tried swapping out the DVD drive with another DVD RW, same problem.
I went into the Control panel checked sound/audio devices.... Looks Okay.

I'm using XP/home older P-4 with SoundBlaster Live card.
Do I need to update drivers for this Lite-on?

Help!!!!

Thanks

First post, I hope I chose the correct Topic.

First of all, Hi and welcome.

Don't worry about the topic, as it'll be moved if its deemed to be in the wrong place.

The problem might be if you don't have an audio lead for your DVD / DVD-RW drive that either connect to the motherboard and / or to your sounds card.

Thanks,
Yea I tried that. I should have mentioned that in my post. The sound card has a "TAD" "AUX" & "CD" plug on it. I have tried all three to no avail. It plays a CD (audio) with or without the "audio lead" in the DVD player. It's like the DVD is in "mute" mode when playing a video. Although it isn't.

What program are you using to play DVD's?

Did your DVD drive come with any DVD playing software?

You could allways try -



Media Player Classic - http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=84358

Its an open source product and plays DVD's exceptionally well.

Thanks Merkanix & Jephree

I tried both links that you suggessted.

Merkanix, I had some problems downloading the mirror for Media Payer classic. Will try again.

Jephree, I tried the groups-beta.google.com

and found that others are having or have had the same problem. Thanks.
I tried putting a headset to the front jack (per one suggestion) Still no Audio thru the front jack....
I just upgraded to WMP 10 and someone says that WMP 10 doesn't support / play DVD's? I'm pretty sure I was having this problem before WMP 10 upgrade...with WMP 9 also.....

Jephree you asked if software came with DVD player? Yes POWERDVD came with it. & is installed. Would that be creating a conflict between the two players?
Thanks again for your input/advice. & for this and other simular forums.

There is a support section for PowerDVD here:

http://www.gocyberlink.com/multi/pro...n.jsp?ProdId=1

You need to register your copy to utilise the site.

I guess my question would be: are you using PowerDVD to play your DVD's?

If not: have you tried to?

Thanks Jephree,

Problem Solved!!!!

That was it. Actually this Lite-on DVD/RW is from a Sept 2003 (manufactured date) and came with POWERDVD 4.0-XP. I went in and updated the drivers (Uh-Der) My bad...
It now works like a charm. Audio is load and clear!!!!!

Thanks again,
