Can't Hear Sound when I play DVDs

[weatherman90]

Ok, just to clarify a few things:

- My speakers are on
- I can hear audio files just fine

My problem is that I am no longer able to hear the sound when I play dvds in the player, or even when I play Video_TS files from dvd copies already existing on my computer. I see the video, but no audio comes out whatsoever.

I have tried playing them in a variety of player including Dell CinePlayer, Windows Media Player, and ATI

This problem just began about a week ago - I've never had the problem before. I haven't unplugged any cables or moved any soundcards.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that I recently had to shut down my computer to stop it from burning a DVD. As I said before, though, I can't even hear sound when I play DVDs off of existing files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

try reinstalling the sounds drivers and then if that makes no difference the drivers for the dvd drive

sounds like a missing codec to me

it is a codec issue try install stormcodec....or update your windows media player at least to ver.10

I've got Windows Media Player 11 - I will try Storm Codec.

If its a codec issue, though, wouldn't it give me an error message?

Also, why would it just suddenly stop working?

Scratch that - I fixed it!

Apparently some Sonic Player update was all it took.

Thanks for the help guys!
