broken video/sound card?

catford

I used to be able to watch dvd's on my pc but i only get silent movies now.:eek:
I've looked at all the settings which seem to be ok--and i can still play music cd's and listen live via the internet
Any help would be appreciated and no offence to brummybloke who's helped;)

trying using different media players and or unistalling reinstalling media playes on your system.

well if you can watch a movie without sound and you can play music, then it appears your soundcard/video card is not broken.What do you use on your computer to watch films/play music? if you have the name of the software perhaps do a search and look for video but no audio and the name of your software program. It sounds like you may have altered one of the settings ,and without knowing what you are using it would be hard to second guess. Other than that, you may have downloaded something thats altered a setting. with sound there are a few places to check on your computer but, do a search first on google then if no luck repost here.

Good idea Capt-I reinstalled a different media player and the sound worked :j

The sound is also working on windows media player and real player again so it must have changed a setting for me.:o---But which one?? it's not really magic-is it??:o
