    open windve when the movie plays right click on the screen and select options then select audio check the settings there

    first option select analog card
    second option select 2 channel or what ever you have

    now for the important part

    advanced audio setup

    check the sellect 0.1 setup
    enable 96 KHZ decoding

    and the most important
    the one I suspect why is not working

    make sure that is not on auto
    choose direct sound

    Let us know if that works

    well, i did a search and I couldn't find any reason why it wouldn't be working. what version of directx do you have? you have to have at least 8.1 installed.

    Hello :)

    I have been thinking about this for a while try this


    If this does not help I will keep on tyring to help you :)

    The soundcard you have is similar to the one I got.

    I was having a problem with sound at one time and this solved it
    maybe it can help you.

    go to control panel
    then system
    then go to the hardware manager
    click on the sound card
    should be somewhere at the bottom of the list
    then click on its properties and look around to see if it gives you an option of what kind of speakers you have

    the options are digital, mono, and autosense. take it out of autosense if you have it there and put it on whatever type of speaker you have.

    When I get home tonight I will post a picture of what I am talking about
    if this does not help then it's back to the drawing board :)

    My self i did search for this answer with google "windvd 5 no sound"

    "the options are digital, mono, and autosense. take it out of autosense if you have it there and put it on whatever type of speaker you have."

    I guess you use WinDVD to play DVD-movies.
    To play DVD-movies two codecs are required MPEG2 and AC3.
    These codecs are installed automaticly by WinDVD

    If you like to play other movies like DivX or Xvid, and have installed one of those wonderful codec packages, then you most likely already have an AC3 codec installed.
    If this is the case, then the cause of your no-sound problem could be a conflict between "WinDVD AC3" and "Codec Pack AC3".

    The program should be working. I have found several sites that contain informaton about this problem. some people said to hell with it and went to power dvd but this will only sidestep the problem and not solve it.

    another option is to check for codecs in your system

    here are a few links you should read and maybe just maybe solve the problem

    in this one you can download a program that will test for codecs

    a site where you can download the codecs if you need them

    the full pack

    I hope this does it.

    I had a similar problem - the only player that worked was interactual.
    Finally I installed the latest aspi drivers (ver. 4.7.1) and now can use any DVD player.
    (Win98se, WMP 6.4, DirectX9.0)

    I am about to give up and say the HELL with it......

    Not sure if your going to check this again but i was having the same problem but on xp.
    After installing and uninstalling a few times i still had no sound. So i went on the intervideo homepage and saw that they had included Div x support. Thought it may have a conflict problem so uninstalled both and re-installed windvd 5 platinum again. The sound started up straight away. May be worth a try, if you have Div x installed that is.

    Yess im having some Trouble with my Audio on WinDVD 5 Platinum. First i downloaded the Trial version and it worked fine full sound and audio so i decided it was a decent program so i Activated it, but after i activated it the audio quit working but the vidieo still worked, i think when you activate it it installes DVD-Audio Pack but in not totaly sure. if any one could help me that would be great i get no help from the Tec Support.
