G5 with no sound from DVD's

Here's a strange new problem...
I CAN play a CD thru iTunes.
I CAN get tones for clicks, beeps, etc when I change settings on the Sound Preferences panel.
But, when I work on a DVD Tutorial, I can't get the sound from the DVD. And it's not one DVD... it's several.
What's happened?

I no longer have sound with DVD Player. I checked the audio output setting under preferences - there really wasn't much to select. Audio output was set to System Sound Output (the only choice) and "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" was not selected. I have a MacBook, OS X 10.4.11. The DVD Player is version 4.6.5, Framework version 4.7.0. Was working fine and then when I tried to watch a DVD that I had been watching the night before, there was no sound. The video part if fine. The DVD is fine on a standard DVD player. Sound is fine using iTunes. Any suggestions appreciated.

Can't record sound from DVD player

I just built a new DAW with a Gigabyte MoBo that has the Realtek sound chip on board. I installed an M-Audio external Fast Track Pro connected to the computer with USB 2.0. With the two sound devices I can play Band in a Box (my main band) through the Realtek and out put to my mixer. I then use my Line 6 Pod XT as a preamp to my guitar that also goes to my Behringer mixer. I connect the main out (R&L) from the mixer to the 1 and 2 inputs on the M-audio. I set Audio Hardware setup in AA3 to use the M Audio device for input and am able to record mixer output to tracks in AA3. I tried several configs and this is the only one that I found that works. All is good so far.
I installed a SATA DVD player (Lite on 24x) that works fine, but it plays through the M-Audio via USB, bypassing the Realtek chip, and the sound does not show up in AA3. I'm thinking I need to route the DVD output to the mixer to use the channel that is already set up. I've been trying to output the DVD player through the onboard Realtek but can't find any way to direct it to do so. I don't necessarily need it to play through the Realtek, but I want to be able to record from the DVD player.
So, does anyone have any idea how to direct the output of the DVD player to the sound card of choice? I'm stumped.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Why no sound from DVD drive H/Phone sockets ?

Hello again folks,
Just a little niggle here. I have just noticed that I am getting no sound from my 2 DVD Drive front headphone sockets. One is an MSI the other a LiteOn, both have Headphone sockets and volume controls but not a sound issues forth, even though i have no probs getting sound from my mobo audio outs and the S bracket. Any idea of which box i haven't ticked ??

Interisting case, it must be a compatibility issue.
Test it with other DVD movies, run it with different software, i.e QuickPlay, Windows Media Player, VLC etc.

No Sound From DVD Player

I received my new (refurb.) 15" PB today. Everything works great except I can get no sound from Apples DVD player. CDs, iTunes, system sounds etc. all work correctly. Audo output is set to System Sound Output in DVD Preferences. Using VLC I get DVD sound but lots of dropped frame errors. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. I can play the video part of a DVD but no sound. Audio CDs and Windows sounds work fine. Does this mean I'm missing a DVD codec or is there a software setting I'm missing. The Nvidia codec costs money. Is there a free codec that will fix this? This is with Windows XP and Audigy 2 LS.

Ok I figured it out. I downloaded the Nvidia codec and it works fine. Shouldn't all the sw be aailable with the soundcard though? I really don't want to pay $40 for a codec I do not have the spdif bypass selected.....
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Imac 27" brief mechanical ejection sound from dvd drive when booting up

Hey guys,
Had a quick question. I'm on my third 27" stock 3.06Ghz imac that was replaced yesterday. The good news is that so far it doesn't seem to have any of the problems of my previous two 27" imac's.
There is one thing though. A couple of seconds after pressing the power button to bootup there is a brief mechanical sound from the dvd drive like a quick ejecting sound even though there is no cd in the drive. My first 27" imac dvd drive made the sound but the second imac 27" Imac I had didn't. Is this sound normal? Would be curious to know why two out of the three 27" Imac's I had make that noise.
System profiler says my dvd drive is a:
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H
Would be nice to hear from other Imac 27" owners to see if they have this sound. Peace of mind I guess. Thanks in advance!

Roger, et al,
Thanks for the prompt responses.
I ran Software Update, but I was already up to date, so there was nothing new to install.
The drive seems to be working fine. I used it to load lots of programs, made some big iDVD videos, and made a DVD of some Quicktime movie files. I can live with this startup sound, but I asked the Apple tech about it and she's the one who flagged it as a more serious problem. So unless someone can steer me in the direction of a home cure, I guess I'll take the young 'puter to the doctor.

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

New event with no sound from iPhone

When I set a new event with an alert from iPhone, on iCal of my iMac (synched via Mobile Me) I always got as alert a "message with no sound". How can I get an alert with sound (on my iMac) when I set a new event from the iPhone?

First of all check the volume buttons....if they are fine
Try and do the basic operations...
- reboot - reset
- if it is still not working then once try restoring it through itunes....it should solve most of the problems...
- if it still exists then it must be a hardware issue...if u r under the warranty period then apple will replace it for sure....
hope this helps you...
if u need anything else then please reply...happy to help....

Sound blaster Z with no sound from Optical S/PDIF output

Hi,
I'm trying to record music from a Denon DTR-2000 Digital Audio Tape deck. I have connected a optical S/PDIF cable from Optical Out on the DAT player to the Optical In on the sound card but I'm not hearing any sound.
I've also tried with a CD/DVD player using optical out and still no sound.
My only concern is that whilst there is a definite click when the TOSLINK cable is plugged into the CD/DVD player it doesn't seen particularly well connected in the sound card.
If I start Smart Recorder with Source as Digital-In (SoundBlaster Z) and press Analyse there is no movement in the sound level bars. Presumably there should be.
Hope you can offer some help please.

Just to clear this up. The original cable was fine but the quality of the connectors left a lot to be desired. The plugs needed to be pushed in quite forcibly.

Use SB Live External to play sound from DVD pla

I have tried to connect a cable from my DVD player, phono connection I think it is called, and to a SB Li've External card with a minijack to the "line in".

What is wrong? Please help

Does anybody have any idea?

Could i play sound from DVD Player to my stereo?

I have iBook with Airpot Extreme card. I want to buy Express station. Is there is somebody who did try to broadcast sound to express station from something different than iTunes? May it is just impossible?

Before you buy one for this purpose, you must realize that you're liable to be frustrated trying to get the audio to sync with the video. In fact, you'll have to use an app other than Apple's DVD Player in order to get the sync halfway close, and even then you'll likely never get it perfect.
VLC is one possibility. You'll need to use the audio delay option with a negative offset to advance the audio ahead of the video a couple of seconds to compensate for the Airport Express prebuffering delay.

No Sound from DVD - X-Fi Music

Hi, I'm currently using a SB X-Fi Music card in a Compaq SR705 PC that has it's own on board sound card. Although the on-board is not in use Win XP device manager does not allow me to disable it. My problem is that while using Win Media Player to play music (or i-Tunes or any of Sound Forge, Audacity, Magix, Cubase, Sibelius etc) there is no problem with sound. When, I try to play DVDs though via Win Media Player pictures are good but no sound. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Andy
