I ran the utility and based on the results upgraded my WinDVD 4 to WinDVD 7.
I re-ran the utility and made Intervideo Video Decoder my preferred decoder.
I checked for updates on my video card (ATI Mobility Radeon 7500) there were
none. I checked for upgrades on my sound card (SoundMAX) and Windows found
an update and installed it. I still can't hear anything when playing a DVD.
I have WMP 10 and run XP Home. Any suggestions?

Mute button?

I tried that first. Even opened the volume controls and checked all the
settings.

If it's just happening for MPEG/DVD files, then your DVD decoder isn't
working correctly.

Do DVDs play correctly in WinDVD?

That indicates that you've got multiple DVD decoders installed, which is not
helpful.
