Windows Media Player 11-DVD NO SOUND??

I have NO sound when trying to play DVD's with WMP11, which I just uninstalled & reinstalled.....read one thread that said to check the options under the sync tab......select the correct tab for speakers.....I dont even know which choice would be 'correct'..I am a novice to troubleshooting on PC..so please be patient with your explanations......my CD's play fine. I am using Windows XP....Thanks for your time & patience.:-o

 

Hi grdngrl, is this an original DVD or one you have burned yourself?

It is likely a codec issue but WMP usually tells you this and offers to find it for you.

it is an original, not sure what to do??? :confused

 

My best advice would be to use a different player, windows media player is not very good IMO.

Try VLC player if you don already have it, here is a link........

That should play it no problems, although depending on a couple of factors you might have to download a codec, but it will prompt you and get it for you if it does, and you will probably never have to get another codec again after that

Wow! The VLC player did the trick!!! Thank you so much!
