hi, i hope someone can help, please.

i have 2 dvd drives on my pc. one is a lite on dvd player which i have had for a year or two. the other is a new LG cd/dvd burner, which i have had about a month and which is working ok.

its just the past 2 days when i put a dvd (original) into either drive to play, there is no sound! i have cleaned the discs and played them on my dvd player (on tv) and they work fine, sound and everything. but no sound on my pc.

im running xp pro and other than putting the new cd/dvd burner in a month ago, i havent changed any programs/settings.

any idead please?

Can you play audio files or CDs with WMP? I take it you have normal sounds coming out of your speakers.

Bad choice!

Use VLC or WMP classic!

If you get sound with VCL then the problem is with WMP. A windows update probably upgraded WMP and took away the ability to play Dolby Digital audio without a license.
