No sound w/ WMP when playing DVDs

The picture looks fine and I have sound when playing music, video & Flash files. Also I have two drives and no sound on either of them and i have tried several different DVDs

Hi rbfeik,
Did you by chance upgrade from Vista to Win 7?
If so, did the DVD player work prior to upgrading?
Did you upgrade using the HP Upgrade Assistant?
I'm thinking you need to install a Win 7 version of your DVD software.
Here is the Win 7 64bit software and drivers page for your PC:

Look for DVD related software and drivers.

Satellite 1100-Z14: I get the only picture but no sound when playing DVD's

I know mine is a fairly old notebook,but despite updating with latest firmware, I have an intermittent problem when playing DVD's (Reg 2) in that I get the picture but no sound, particularly with some older DVD's.
CD's are ok.
Toshiba repair agent says it is a software problem and they only deal with hardware problems.
Can anyone tell me how I can deal with this problem please ? ( apart from getting a later model ! )

I think I may have stumbled on the problem, I use IntervideoDVD7 and under audio effects there is an option
'Sydney Theatre' etc, I changed it to 'off' and the sound cames back. maybe I should study their manual a bit more !

No sound when playing DVD video

Hi,
I have a K8T NEO2-FIR, Win XP pro. Basic system runs just fine. I have installed an LG DVD-ROM drive model GDR-8163B. When I play a DVD video there is no sound at all. On the other hand, there is sound when playing a music CD. I am using the on-board sound (no additional sound card installed).
I must be missing something pretty basic. Any guidance would be appreciated.

...sounds like you need to configure the DVD playing software (PowerDVD, WinDVD, WMP, etc.)...

A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
I appreciate any advises.
Thanks

for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dolby.jpg
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dts.jpg
if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

New MBP 17 - When playing DVDs/CDs rattles/vibrates every 10 seconds

Hi everyone. Love the new machine but wondering if this is really normal. While playing DVDs, about every 7-10 seconds there is a ridiculous rattling/vibrating sound, sort of like the noise a 12-year-old air conditioner makes when it's on and the glass and window frame are shaking every few seconds. This can't be right. I assume I need to take this back to the Apple store -- or should I mail it back myself via Apple repair?
Or are all the drives like this? I just can't imagine anyone being okay with a DVD soundling like a tire going over the warning treads every few seconds...
Thanks
John

Hey guys,
I notice there's a few topics going on for the 17 inch MBP now, so I thought I might help out. There is a topic here where some of us have been posting about the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2162948&tstart=45
I previously had this problem with my unibody under Mac OS X (with 5400rmp Hitachi HDD), and I found a post on the big 100 page thread with someone suggesting a utility called HDAPM which might help. I have found that this utility did indeed help on my 17 inch unibody, I haven't seen a single freeze since running it, the machine is smooth as could be. Others in this topic appear to have had similar success.
I posted some instructions here on how you can install HDAPM and set the necessary setting via terminal:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10283888#10283888
Maybe some of you guys should try it. One thing, this apparently may reduce your battery life slightly, but I haven't noticed anything too drastic.
For anyone who does try, let me know if it works for you.

Ghosting when playing DVDs

Hi, using RX2600XT diamond and connecting to my LCD TV via vga. When I play some DVDs, especially dark scenes and fast movement, I see trails and ghosting. I see the previous scene for about few seconds on the screen and if there is arm movenet, you see the arm trail as a shadow.
These DVDs play fine on my regular DVD player and using the same DVD.
Any idea what is going on or what I need to fix this?
Thanks

What DVD software/codec are you using to play DVDs?

Quality loss when playing DVD authored in Encore on a HD flat screen

Hi,
I authored a DVD in Encore and i noticed that when i played it on my pc it looked fine but when played using a DVD player on a HD flat screen and projector there is a significant quality loss- the image became pixelated and glittery. I tried playing 3 other professional videos and they were all fine. Something must be wrong in the way i am authoring my video. The encore file is set to 720x576 at 25fps. I created a .psd menu page to match these dimension and besides the movies, both the menu page i created and the menu templates that are already there in the library when you buy the software, look glittery when played with a projector or HD flat screen and projector. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric

Lack of control over users players/TVs is a problem. And you can try to provide some instruction.
You are right to test your product to see if you have a reasonable chance of your DVDs looking good.
First, test them on a DVD player and a standard definition TV. Your test on the PC is not sufficient. If they do not look good here, you have problems somewhere in your workflow. (I suspect this is the case. In my tests below, I see no flashing or issues like what you describe.)
If okay there, you need an upscaling DVD player to test on your HD TV. You should also explore the options on that TV for setting size.
For example, I just put a DVD in my Bluray player (hooked via HDMI to an HD 1080p TV). I can set the player and the TV separately to various resolution settings. Forcing the player to 480 and the TV to Normal gives a picture that looks like the original version, using a regular DVD player set to a 4:3 TV. But when I set the Bluray player back to "HDMI auto" (for the resolution), and the TV to normal, I see a pretty respectible picture.
I did the same sort of test using a regular DVD player via regular AV cable. Discovered I had it set to the wrong TV type! I could not see a lot of difference in the picture, even if I stretched it. (It was distorted, of course, but not pixelated, just not the crisp look of HD.)

Pavilion 23 hot when playing dvd

I do ot play DVDs very often on my new Pavilion 23, but I just put one in and noticed that the screen is very warm where the DVD player would be and the other side feels normal.
Is this common and should I be worried? As I said before, I've had this computer for about 6 weeks, but I don't play DVDs often.
Any help you could provide would be great!

Software insrumen sounds break up when played - 3 EXS projet

My project has 3 EXS tracks.
They're all based on the same Piano patch.
One is ringshifted, the other has AVerb on it and the third has no effects.
When I play no. 1 the sound is OK.
But I only have to play a few quick notes on 2 or 3 to for the sound to become discontinuous or break up completely.
Preferences: I/O buffer 1024, process buffer "large", 24 bit recording off.
Machine: MBP with 4 gigs, 56 gig disk space.
I'm o a MacBook Pro - but something similar is

Once I get mine shipped, I'll let you know how mine is compared to my friends X200 which I'v e used a few times last week. I did not test out any DVD's since it lacks a DVD drive but will copy a movie onto a memory stick that has lots of deep blacks. Perhaps Vin Diesels Pitch Black would be a good one to test out and Aliens. My order has been delayed over a month and a half because of a shortage of 9-cell batteries. (at least that is what they are saying since I placed my order on 08/05/08 and today is 9/15/08.
If I were you, I'd register in these other two forums where people talk about the X200 because sometimes this one doesn't move for days and you'll have a better chance of getting a reply.

No sound on YouTube when played through Facebook. Please help

When I play you tube videos through face book I can't get any sound

Do you have system sounds muted?
If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

IPod Touch 5th Gen sound really low when playing movies/tv shows from video app

I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation for my daughter so she can watch her movies and tv shows that i purchased on itunes. On my iPhone 5S, I have no problems with the sound... Loud and clear. However with my new ipod touch, those same movies/tv shoes have really low volume. The sound while using Apps, Games and playing music are all fine. While playing from the video app, headphones are ok too... My problem is the sound from the speaker. I don't understand why all the other functions on the ipod that use sound is OK.
I have already reset my ipod and reset all the settings too... still didnt work. Please help! Thanks

The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

White screen when playing dvds. Please help.

When I fast forward or rewind a movie on my Macbook the screen becomes white while the movie still plays. It takes about a minute for the white screen to go away. This has never happened before. Is there a problem with my Macbook or is it the dvd?

I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
Hope this helps someone.
