dvd audio cable

Its very low probably because you have a passive sound card and passive speakers....you are more than likely going to need some amplified speakers

no a dvd laurel and hardy the flying deuces 1939

i put in cable and it sounds the same

either i have a bad board with onboard sound or only 196 megs of ram

it sounds awful

thanks

sound is crummy and low volume and yahoo messenger jolts me as it can be loud

ok well the audio cd does sound just fine so i dont know why the dvd wont play

So all other sounds are OK, then its surely nothing to do with u'r speakers... and those analog CD-Audio cables wont help u neither for playing a DVD.

What DVD program are u using? also what speakers do u use and do they connect via analog or digital?

It most likely just needs setting up in options to suit u'r speakers

Heres an idea... have a look in its options for sound/speaker setup and make sure its set for your speaker configuration... U may have a Digital Output on your sound card/mobo (SP-DIF) that the program is trying to use with nothing connected to it (hence no sound), may just need to deactivate it and select an analog output to solve the problem.

on board sound

i dont know

a cheap ecs board

i have no warnings in system control panel

i have power dvd i think

Well i'm not sure without knowing your system specifics :confused:, but i'm still pretty sure its a setting in Power DVD (if that's what u'r using), u should be able to find options to setup your speaker configuration.

For Power DVD u may find the info u need HERE, hope it helps.

:)

ok thanks maybe i have a defective dvd player

I hightly doubt that if your audio cd plays fine.....you probably should do as Lotus says and check the settings in power dvd as well as the advanced settings on your volume control

ok thanks if i can figure it out
