I've got Windows Media Player 10, downloaded it about a month ago (I think, I
can't quite recall), and I've been having this issue before. Sometimes when
I go to play any song on the Player, be it CD or downloaded, it will start to
play, but I will have no sound at all. This goes for everything. I've
checked all the sound devices I've got, checked the volume on the computer,
and still nothing, what can i do?

I'm having the same problem with Media Player except that mp3s have sound but
DVDs don't - any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Zachd - how can I tell what dvd decoder I am using? Once I have identified
which decoder I am using, do I need to remove it?

Many thanks

First check the mute button next to the volume control. Then check all
the other recent threads describing "no sound" problems.

should cover how to detect it.

If you have a compatible decoder, you should be fine, but having multiple
DVD decoders installed on the system is rather a headache and not generally
a wise idea since it's like having multiple steering wheels for a car. =)

Regarding Windows Media Player

I do not have Audio DSP. The only plug-in that seems to be there is
Visualization.
How do I download or activate the plug-ins I need?
This is the error message I receive when I try to download Version 10 in
hopes of having it come down with all the plug-ins. "MP10Setup-exe is not a
valid win 32 application".
I don't know how to install Audio DSP or any of the other DSPs missing. Can
anyone help?

If you get that message, either your download is corrupt or a download
manager is interfering with and breaking the download.
