I built my PC awhile back but had some issues with the HD so it got a new HD and now I do not have sound when I play a DVD. I have a Plextor drive. What should my course of action be ? Thanks - A:dry:
Which sound u've got? Onboard or PCI?? can u see a sound icon on the right hand side of your taskbar?? Just make sure that u'vent got ur sound muted under Wave and Master volume.....
I have a soudblaster audigy. Nero pops up a thing about copyrights and dolby digital decoding.....I have deeper issues with this :x: methinks.....
It could be the sound card drivers. Download the latest drivers from the Creative website. If that fails, try to installing the proper codecs to play DVDs.
I had a similar issue with first no picture and then no sound when playing dvd's and i had tried loads of different video players and it was ony recently when i got the latest version of Real player that the problem seemed to sort itself out.
1. Pull out and reinsert your sound card or will be much better if you try in a different PCI slot ..... 2. If not done then disable your onboard sound.. 3. Check in Device Manager, if you can see any yellow icon...(If yes, dat means u need drivers for your sound card). 4. You didnt told me that if you can see the sound icon on the Taskbar....>? 5. Try to play a sound file and then go to the event viewer, inside applications nd system events, see wat events errors u r getting..
1. Pull out and reinsert your sound card or will be much better if you try in a different PCI slot .... . It worked in the slot it is in before. No room in other slots. 2. If not done then disable your onboard sound.. Done a long time ago 3. Check in Device Manager, if you can see any yellow icon...(If yes, dat means u need drivers for your sound card). Only for onboard sounds. 4. You didnt told me that if you can see the sound icon on the Taskbar....>? Yes. All my other sound/media crap works 100% 5. Try to play a sound file and then go to the event viewer, inside applications nd system events, see wat events errors u r getting.. unsure how to do this. The issue seems to be with Nero and copyright crap......
Hmmm, just a thought that it might be a codec issue. I experienced the same kind of problem when I was running Windows (I'm assuming you are) a while back and the following codec pack fixed things for me - might be worth a try! Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.6 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack
Do codecs have anything to do with copyright crap ? I think the problem is with Nero. It pops up a windows that says I need to buy a plugin because of a Dolby sound copyright.I will try the codecs tonight.
Oh, and also try this as well if it's a Nero issue. Download Nero Mega Plugin Pack 1.0 - This Plugin Pack will give you more features than Enterprise Edition - Softpedia
