dvd drive problem
in [Hardware]

From: will_usher on 11 Mar 2006 15:40 Hi, I'm having problems playing DVD's on my PC (dell dimension 8200/Windows XP)... Firstly the DVD would play, but particular sounds were missing (i.e. speach) but now the PC will not even recognise the DVD in the drive. This is not a problem with the DVD's as they play on other players. I did recently reinstall Windows and it would play DVD's before I did the reinstall. Any ideas on the problem and how I could fix it? Cheers.

Media Player Classic tells me 'Cannot find dvd directory'... the title of the DVD does not show in the DVD drive.
From: Clark on 12 Mar 2006 09:59 Only getting certain sounds and not voice may indicate you are only hearing the back channels. Have you checked where your speakers are plugged in and run a test on them? Why did you reinstall Windows? Have you run any programs that might have altered your DVD drive? Have you checked your settings for the IDE controllers and the DVD drive in Device Manager? Do you have another DVD drive you could try? Any firmware updates for your current DVD drive?
