Hey Abhishek u double posted it. :eek:

Which sound card are there in ur Lappy? Realtek one? If it is not running properly then try the companies own drivers for vista from their website.:D

Hmm, Only from DVDs? Weird. . Have you increased the Volume for the Application you are using? Like there is a new Volume Control right?

And Yeh, Have you installed PowerDVD? I think some MPEG2 codecs are required for playing DVDs correctly.

I dont think Vista Home basic can play DVD movies on WMP11.IMO DVD codecs arent bundled with home basic. use a alternate player ... use VLC or other DVD player softwares like PowerDVD etc etc ..

^^Yes, Charan is right. Your laptop comes with DVDPlay. Use it for playing DVDs.

Are you sure your illegit DVD actually plays sound? Try choosing a sound channel in it perhaps, the player might not be auto-detecting it.
