No voice sound when playing dvd's on computer!

[BALLIN]

WHen i play any dvd now for some odd reason the voices are mute but everything else still works. When people talk you cant hear them!! But all backround sound effects work!

Do i need to re-install my power dvd player?

This had happened after the installation of windows media 9 player!!!

I have tried opening the preferences in the media player to see if i accidently muted voice sound output but i couldn't find anything!!

Any help appreciated!!

Does this only happen in POWER DVD or in all players such as WMP etc..

[BALLIN]

this happens with all players, even i play music usually the first 5 seconds is ok then the audio gets all distorted and sometimes i just get the backround music.

check to see that you are not running in 5.1 surround sound if you dont have a 5.1 sourround setup.... check both the windows setup, your soundcard setup, and power DVD setup......


maybe....

I'm still having this problem!!

Power dvd is the main problem!! Still no voice sound when playing a dvd movie!!

Windows media player now works with voices but sometimes i have to move the balance bar on the equalizer all the way to the left or right.

Don 2050 seems to be on the right track here. Somewhere in your system, it is set to render sound from DVDs in 5.1 surround sound whereas is sounds as if you are using stereo speakers (2 speakers only). Go through every option on your audio cards configuration menus (what sound card do you have?) as well as every option in PowerDVD and make sure everything is set to stereo and not 5.1 or Dolby DTS, or whatever. If you have already done this or you don't find wnythin, I would recommend reinstalling or updating your sound card's drivers.

Please respond with your sound card type and info on your speakers.

Hope this helps,
