Problems with sound!!

So i watch DVD's on my comuter, through the various media players that are available when the DVD loads up. Ive got external speakers with a small bass unit. All was working fine until a couple of weeks ago...

Now, when ever a DVD loads up, the picture is normal and fine, but the sound is messed up; its crackly and its continually stuttering, out of time with the picture. I have no idea what is wrong with it, as it jus suddenly happened!! It doesnt happen when i play music through itunes, just when i play DVDs, and every DVD i have to that matter.

Anyone got any ideas, id appreciate the help!!!

 

read WMP 11 download it say's it has sync. maybe make it default.

 

Ok so maybe my computer knowledge is beginner, lol, can you expand on that please, it may be obvious, but just in case..

Thanks...

 

go to the "microsoft download center ". it has options and for wmp's i don't know what you have now it may be you need update, did you run microsoft updates Did you hide any ? while your there "Download center" you may see other downloads you want. Maybe i'm not thinking of your Q right. I'll drink lot's of coffee and chain smoke for a few min. LOL

 

Hello nickeye and welcome to the Board,

Instead of larding up your system some more, settle on one DVD movie player.

Get rid of "the various" non WMP media players and then if you don't want to use WMP, settle on one. DVD playback is sensitive to conflicts between the various players.

Hello Dytrog,

That's about the worst thing to do in this situation - just complicates the matter. I doubt very much that the problem is lack of MS patches.

i don't have any trouble with audio video with a hp media center tv pc. i can record watch and rewind live instant playback. i have set my tv as a second monitor for viewing recorded or live tv. play pc games or inet on tv screen.
i was just trying to think of some way to help. i was wondering about the issue of multiple players G 1

 

So how come it has only just begun to happen? The various media players only come up as the dvd loads up, and i havnt added any, theyve been there since the start...

So you suggest getting rid of some of the media players?

 

Have you looked in the Task Manager at what is running? All programs load .dll files when running and quite easy for one to overlay another. As you say "The various media players only come up as the dvd loads up ", which means, all of them are running in the background.

Yes, if only to be able to troubleshoot a problem like this. Start by disabling them.
