Recently installed new phillips cd-rw/dvd optical drive on my dell laptop after problems with my old one. I called Dell technicians to troubleshoot my old drive, and he had me to delete somethings in the regedit. Im not sure if this is connected as to why I see a picture but no sound when I play a dvd. In Windows media, the EQ is like disabled, the SRS wow effects are somehow disabled also, and I can't use them. My audio and sound devices are fine, because I can still play music. What seems to be the problem?

Speakers are on and I did update my sound device. My laptop didnt come with a disc with the programs on it. I used cyber link powerDVD with my old drive, now that program isnt working right, so I just uninstalled it and installed a program called GOM player. And the audio still does not come in on the new program.

Go into your device manager and uninstall your sound driver. Reboot....

Chances are that the AAC or whatever audio codec your computer uses to decompress the dvd audio was deleted, the best way to fix this is to reinstall the DVD playing software on your computer. If you have a Dell and still have the CDs that came with it, you should probably have powerdvd on one of the disks. If not, download a program called VLC and it will reinstall what you need and should be able to play with no problems.
Also this is NOT A DRIVER ISSUSE IF SHE CAN PLAY AUDIO THROUGH OTHER PROGRAMS.
And CD volume doesnt matter in this case because CD audio is refering to the analog source which really doesnt matter when you're talking about the audio being read off a DVD, it's completely digital audio which has to be decoded by a codec.

ok try this. Go to start, type in the run box, SNDVOL32. That should open your audio mixes, and there should be a volume bar that says CD audio, that is the way of controling all audio from your cd drive, make shure thats not muted or turned down too low, while your there, just mess with other vol, settiings should this one not work right-a-way.

I mean this in all seriousness: is it muted or is the sound turned down?
