DVD playback Windows 7
I have windows 7 on a computer with a built-in dvd player. I put a dvd in there but when I open the media player, it says that there is no disc in the drive. I just got this computer so it can be destroyed. Is there something that I'm not aware of that I need to play DVDs? I mean it says here on the edge of the disk drive: dvd.
Hi Michelle,

- Have you tried another DVD?
This question arises due to driver conflicts. We will help you solve the problem.

No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player
- No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player.
Media Center recently stopped working altogether, the message alleges a solution will be found, but he never comes to the top with one and there seems to be no resolution right ahead of internet, I can see others too have a similar problem.
So I would try Media Player, no joy it is thinking.
It reads the dvd no sound, I go into options and make sure the external emu sound card is set, yes all well, but as soon as I put it on youtube videos sound turns off by train to play media player so a sort of conflict, if I close Opera / chrome browser and reopen his is back.
Update or reinstall the drivers for the sound card in Device Manager, checking the PC or Support Downloads Web page of the card for more recent or different driver.
Physically, reinstall the sound card to make sure that the contacts and the slots are clean and tight connections.
If you have an audio chip embedded, try to use it to compare.
Try the VLC media player to see if it has the same problem.
Have you updated flash player for your browser?
Try another browser to compare.
Establish a clean boot, check for infection and then run the System File Checker of the steps in troubleshooting for Windows 7

Maybe it's time for a clean reinstall Windows 7? The steps in the link provide the best possible installation.

Windows Media Player volume control does not work during DVD playback.
When I play a DVD in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center I can't adjust the volume with the volume control of the program or main Windows volume control. Simply sound 100% flight. It's on a HTPC connected to an A / V recevier, so the only way to adjust the sound with the volume of the receiver control. When I play any other type of multimedia (avi, mp3, etc.) in the two WMP or WMC in the program volume control is working properly. The interesting part is, when I play a DVD using VLC Player or Cyberlink Power DVD the volume setting in the program as well as the main Windows volume control works correctly. This leads me to believe it's a software is not a hardware problem. I think that WMP and WMC using the same "engine" so the same problem knocking them both.
Other info:
Windows 7 64-bit.
Windows Media Player 12 version
Audio is routed to the receiver via the digital coaxial
For what it's worth, this same problem occurred with the same exact material when I'm running Vista 32 bit.
All other software is the latest version with all updates installed.
Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello
Reinstall the WMP and WMC application and see if it works very well.
1. open the Control Panel -> programs and features.
2. click on Windows to enable or disable features in the left pane.
3 expand the multimedia features, disable Windows Media Player. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.
Note: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. You may need to reconfigure the settings for Windows Media Center after her reactivation.
4. open or turn off Windows features turn on again. Functionality in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Turn it back on.
5. launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.
PS: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. This does not happen when we choose to turn off MCE.

Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100
Hello!
I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.
I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:
Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.
The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.
Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
Could be useful to others here in the forum.
Nice to have these community users :) -
Satellite Pro M50 DVD playback issues
Hello
When I got to my laptop the DVD player worked perfectly well. Now, every time I have read the DVD the CPU peaks at 100% constantly, & video skips & freezes & the sound skips & POPs every two seconds.I am still under my M50 with standard spec, all I've done is upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. The DVD player is a carpet * a DVD/CDRW UJDA770 & I'm running on Windows XP SP2. I have about 8 GB of space on my HDD remaining.
Someone at - it ideas? I searched updates driver for the player, but can not find. I tried DVD playback on the two WMP11 & for the Intervideo Win DVD & I get the same problems.

Hello
just a small suggestion:
Clean your hard drive of unnecessary programs and uninstall everything that has to do with reading/Codecs and the like.
Then, reinstall your DVD program and try again.If this didn t helped you can backup all your data, recover you the system with the restore CD but don t install any other 3rd party software but install "K-lite Codec Pack", then Windvd. After performing these steps, check if it work s.
Work since some programs are should know disrupt a correct reading of certain media such as DVDs.
Good luck and good weekend

Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback
I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)
I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.> I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=107067#107067However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

DVD playback software alternatives
I'm putting in place a new Acer Aspire T3-600. I uninstalled the Acer Media programme because I didn't deal with cloud storage, so now I need another DVD reading program. Does anyone have a suggestion for a reading of DVD priced for this computer program? I prefer to stay away from VLC or any other maybe-no-legal software, but I don't want to spend $50 or more simply to read the occasional DVD.
Windows machines 8 Acer/gateway that I bought had a more conventional DVD playback software. I wish I could find something more like this...
Hi AlanH, I usually use Media Acer as a video player to play the video, music and DVDs are also played by the present, you could have a try.
If you have uninstalled this app, you can check if you could find Acer eRecovery Management and see if the application can be recovered.

Try to install a driver available for your video card. I searched everywhere for an answer and although there seems to be a LOT out there with the same problem, I can't seem to find a straight answer. All Microsoft support is appreciated.

Original title: no volume when playing DVDs
When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you
Hi amorchien,
1. He played very well earlier?
2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?
Step 1:
In Windows Media Player.
a. click on tools and select Options
b. click on devices and click on DVD, then select Properties.
c. make sure that Rip and playback are in digital mode.
Step 2:
This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that remove you / uninstall all installed third-party codec packs, players or video record programs.
