after downloading media player 10, I get systems sounds, but when I play a
DVD movie I do not get any sound. The mute is not on. The captions is not
on.
What do I do to get sound from the DVD movie. The volume is turned up all
the way.
Help Help,
Joe

I have to believe it's using the default/wrong soundtrack. There's usully
quite a few on a DVD - Dolby 5.1, DTS, 2-channel, and different languages.
Every player should work with 2-channel (2.0). Try scrolling through the
audio options. I don't use WMP for DVDs. Get a real PC DVD player like
PowerDVD or WinDVD.

Intriguingly, you can view and set the exact "soundtrack" WMP uses under
WMP's "Play:Audio and Language Tracks" menu item.

Since it has to be set to something, and that something has to be decoded by
a non-Microsoft MPEG2 decoder. . . . .
