my problem is i can get the visual of the dvd but no sound. I can usually fix the odd problem but this one has got me stumped. There is probably a simple explanation. But if you think you can help please reply.
Hmm, I think it has to be your codecs then. If they're legit dvd's, and you're simply trying to play them on your computer, the only reason they wouldn't work would have to be because of audio codecs. You might try downloading the ACE Mega Codecs Pack.
How is the sound on the pc, besides the dvd player? You might want to open the volume applet in the system tray, check the balance, wave vol, system vol.
