I am having a problem with audio playing DVD's. CD's play fine. I have 2 drives in my computer and neither one will play the audio on a DVD. I have upgraded the driver for my Sound Blaster Audigy card and I use XP pro. All other inputs play audio. I use Nero and windows Media player. They will play the video but no audio. The audio out from the CD/DVD players are connected to the sound card.

Dan, If you have Windows XP, you do not use the analog outputs from the CD/DVD drives connected to the sound card.

Windows XP uses "digital audio" (via the IDE ribbon I/O cable) and that should be enabled for each drive in the Windows Device Manager.

Older operating systems used the separate analog cables.

Set the drives for digital audio and I suspect that will fix the problem.

I have two Plextor DVD/CD drives. One has analogue output connected to the sound card (Audigy 4 Pro) and the other has digital output connected to the same sound card. Both drives play anything on either a CD or DVD. In fact, they both can play simultaneously but mixed music is disconcerting for me. OS is WinXP Pro SP2.

Well its working now after trying several things. Jack it was already set for digital audio as you mentioned. I screwed up the the original installation so nothing worked by adding the new driver from Creative for Win XP. After I did that a error message came up saying the sound card was not installed properly. It would not let me fix it and tried to uninstall the drivers and re do it. I ended up using the original cd install disk for win 98 and it is working now. So much for updating programs and drivers. I guess the logic should be that if its working leave it alone and forget about having the latest upgrades. Thanks for the help guys.
