No sound when playing a DVD on my Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769-A44)

Hi,
I recently got an N200 under Vista Home Premium.  Everything is doing well, except an annoying problem with PowerDVD 7 which is factory-installed.  When I play a DVD with PowerDVD, there is no sound.  With Windows Media player, MediaCenter and even MediaPlayer Classic, the sound is there.  Only with PowerDVD is there no sound.
Any hint on how to solve this ?
Thanks !

Update 2008-04-30 : the problem only appears when playing commercial DVD that rely on AC3 codec for sound. For recorded DVD that use MPEG2-Layer2, sound is OK. Seems to be a limitation of PowerDVD OEM. However, if there is a solution ...

Thanks for sharing this. For the moment, and until someone finds a solution, I am relying on WMP and also on an opensource player that can play DVD, Media Player Classic :

Very easy to use. May be it will solve your problem with the DVD player noise ? There is also an excellent media play, that plays DVD, and that I intend to install : JetAudio 7, from Cowon.

  • No sound when playing a DVD...

    I replaced my DVD ROM with an HP dvd 1040i DVD R/RW and there is no sound when playing a DVD? I loaded the Nero 7 essentials software that came with it. My system is a HP compac dc7600 Small Form Factor. I am running Windows XP-Pro and IE8.

    Hi:
    Interesting...
    Does your onboard audio work when listening to music files or playing a video on the internet?
    If you have sound normally but not thru the DVD player, try this free DVD playing software. I use it all the time. See if that fixes the audio problem.

  • No sound when playing burned DVD with Windows Media Player

    Hello!
    I made a 10 minute movie which I burned , tested and delivered today.
    But it turns out that when playing the DVD with WMP, there is no sound.
    I had tested the movie playing it with powerDVD, and it worked as it should. When playing it with a normal DVD player and TV it works allright.
    But I had not tested it with WMP. And sure enough, when playing it with WMP there is no sound!
    The ones who will show the DVD will do it from a computer to a video projector, and maybe they don't have a "proper" DVD program installed. But I heard that there was sound when playing with "VLC" which is a relief.
    But I feel the need to get to the bottom of why there is no sound with WMP? Any clues?

    In NTSC-land, one has but two choices: PCM/WAV or DD AC3, which is a particular "flavor" of MPEG. In PAL-land, one does have the option of MPEG (not DD AC3) as an option, but that seems to be falling out of favor.
    When MS was re-tooling WMP, they wanted to add back the functionality of commercial (pressed/replicated) DVD's, but sought to limit any burned DVD's. Do not know what the mindset is now, so much could have changed with a few iterations of WMP. I have to admit that I just do not reach for it that often.
    In the Project, or Disc, menus, one can tell En which Audio Transcoding to use. As John T, suggests, I would definitely do a test with PCM/WAV, and X my fingers.
    If your client(s) is/are set on WMP as the player, there is hopefully a scheme that you can get to work. Also, remember that some older versions of WMP might not play the DVD at all, unless one finds the right plug-in, that basically hacked the intended setup in those older versions. Just like when delivering to a client, and not knowing their systems' calibration, or setup, trying to cover every base in a particular player software might involve a lot of work, and prayer.
    Good luck,

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) - Audio/Sound problem

    Hi,
    My system: Win XP SP2, all drivers are updated with Lenovo Care - System Update, in Control Panel->Device Manager all items are OK regarding sound system, NO yellow marks (Audio Codecs - OK, Media Control Devices - OK, Realtek HD Audio - OK, UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio - OK), DirectX 9.0, and moreover sound test from Control Panel-> Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager works.
    BUT the sound doesnt work at all.
    I found also some odd stuffs: in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio -> Sound playback/Sound recording -> Default Service box I have only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio", and nothing about Realtek HD. The same with the volume icon in the taskbar: when I open it, in Options->Properties->Mixer Device there is only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio", and again nothing about Realtek HD. 
    Another strange thing: Control Panel->System->Device Manager->Sound, Video and Game controllers->right-click Legacy Audio Drivers->Property and there is a blank Multimedia Devices window. Is that correct ?
    Thank You for any help.

  • Always crashing and rebooting when booting from my new win7-disc. Lenovo 3000 n200 0769-erg

    I have a fully working  Vista system on my n200, trying to boot from my new win7-disc, even tried to boot from usb but it's the same:
    "Loading windows files" followed by "Starting windows" with the new win7-logo.. After that comes a fat cursor(guess the resolution is lower, like in "Rescue and recovery").
    This cursor and a black screen is all I see for ~5 secs before it crashes. Same thing every time.
    It might be Rescue and recovery that starts there and crashes. If that's the case, how do I remove it/fix it in a safe way? Or can i try something else first?
    I am able to boot Linux from CD fyi..
    Thankful for any help.
    Regards

    hi perp,
    If you have tried installing Windows 7 in both AHCI/Compatible mode and the Windows 7 installer still crashes, can you try to run a diagnostic on the RAM/HDD (to make sure there's no hardware fault).
    To run the diagnostics:
    1. Download the the UBCD ISO
    2. Burn the ISO using imgburn
    3. Boot from the diagnostic cd and use MemTest86+ for the memory test and use Data Lifeguard (if you have a Western Digital HDD).
    To burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive, follow this guide.
    If you get any errors, you will need to contact lenovo for service or you can DIY and replace the defective components.
    Hope this helps

  • Replace dvd-rw drive with hdd (lenovo 3000 n200)?

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace internal optical drive and put insted a second hdd. If it is possible, then which type of hdd will suit 2.5" SATA or PATA?

      I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ANU.  I doubt you can fit an HDD into the optical drive slot, good luck.  
    Link to picture
    My model takes a 2.5" SATA drive natively. The appearance of my SATA drive outside my machine looks like the illustration, which is larger than life size.   Look at the bottom of your laptop.  There is a hatch covering the HDD, fastened by  2 screws.   Remove that hatch to see what your current HDD looks like. 
    I looked but could not find an illustration of a SATA drive installed in the bay of a compatible laptop.  Below is an image of the drive connector as it would look from the top and outside of the laptop bay.
    Link to picture
    This connection differs greatly from that of an old-style IDE connector, you should be able to spot it instantly if you remove the hatch.
        A fast option to add a 2nd HDD to your model is to acquire an eSATA capability.  Unfortunately the 2nd HDD will have to be external.  Buy an eSATA-Expresscard adapter, an eSATA capable external hard drive enclosure, and a compatible SATA HDD.  For best usability,get the same make, model, and capacity as the SATA drive in your laptop.  That way you can swap the HDDs when (not if) the HDD installed in your laptop dies or gets terminally confused.   HDD prices vary.  The other hardware can be purchased for about $50.
        An eSATA connection is just as fast as the connection to your HDD built into your laptop.  This is a unique feature of eSATA connections.  Unfortunately you will have extra cables and a box outside your machine, possibly with an external power supply for the 2nd HDD.

  • 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.)...

  • Interrupted sound when playing

    When playing DVD the sound frequently interrupts and it is stepping back and forward (but the picture is continuous).
    My settings: "SPDIF" in PowerDVD, and "Decode dolby digital/spdif in" as well as "use installed decoder" as decoder setting.
    Hardware used:
    Audigy 2ZS Platinum
    Gigaworks S750
    AMD Athlon XP800, 256MB, Windows XP

    This is simple.
    When in digital mode, the PC does -not- do the decoding. It sends it to your reciever to do the decoding through the S/PDIF. Anyway, a DVD is AC3 or DTS. Sound from your PC is nothing so it's just sent PCM.
    When playing a DVD, your reciever is decoding AC3 or DTS data, so it doesn't play anything else but that. Or Vice Versa
    No way around this, except by using Analog.Message Edited by dalponis on 05-4-2005 04:34 AM

  • I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

    I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I updated to 12.1, but still no sound in any clips. Even not on old files which used to work.

    bfun
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
    on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
    What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
    Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
    We will be watching for your follow up.

  • PSE13: no sound when playing AVCHD videos

    In the PSE 13 Organizer I'm not getting any sound when playing AVCHD files:
    These files play just fine in PSE12
    These files play just fine in Premiere Elements 13 and 12
    The files are from various cameras (Sony RX100M3, Sony and Panasonic camcorders)
    Other video formats work fine (e.g., .wmv, .mov files from an iPhone, .avi etc)
    Any ideas? A quick search indicates this problem has occurred occasionally over the last several years across various versions of PSE.
    Thanks

    Hi Anewsha
    I use .mts.
    To clarify : The problem occurs in the organizer part, where sound
    disappears after palying 30 seconds. I run a fairly powerful computer, Core
    i7, 16 G Memory with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

  • Cannot get any sound when playing .avi files

    Hi All
    I am running QT version 6.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and cannot get any sound when playing .avi files but the picture is perfect.
    I have installed the following: M-Peg 2 playback component, AVI Components and AC3 component.
    Does anyone know if I am missing anything or how I can fix this?
    Many thanks

    Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
