greetings,
I'm hoping some crew here can help me diagnose a problem I'm getting of late:
I have a Pioneer DVR-RW 109 (with firmware update 1.17) - i flashed it ages ago when i first bought it and it's always worked fine.
Now all of a sudden I get real crap audio coming out when i playbaqck dvd's - the audio is all clipped and popped (the kind of sound you get if the audio buffer is set too small in audio aps). The picture is fine though.
1 - I know its not a problem with my soundcard because all other audio/video files play fine & the audio is good. The only audio that sounds crap is that coming off my dvd-drive.
2 - I dont think the drive itself is faulty: I tested it today on a friend's computer, to try and isolate the problem, but it worked fine on his computer. (doh)
3 - I've tried to unistall the latest programs i'd installed. One of these was DVDShrink/Encrypter, which i used to try & copy a dvd of mine. That was roundabout the time when the audio problem first came up.
4 - I have unistalled and reinstalled drivers for the Pioneer (from device manager) & have tried playing the DVD with other programs (Nero Showtime, Mediaplayer, etc) but stil get the problem.....
Can anyone offer some suggestion or advice? :dead:
Am not sure that its a hardware problem and was wondring what kind of software issue could be causing this? I havent installed any new hardware so no shared IRQs etc.
Could i have stuffed some settings around using the DVDShrink or Dvd-Encrypter program?
Thanks,
J
