No sound in Intervideo WinDVD 5

[emony]

Hi there,

I recently reformated my computer and installed WinDVD again. It plays my DVDs fine but they are now without sound. I'm not sure what's wrong and looked over the net to find a solution. So far I haven't been able to find anything. Can anyone give me a hand?

What procedure(s) did you use to reinstall WinDVD?

[emony]

I just used the setup file I got when I originally downloaded it. By the way, the sound isn't working in the DIVX player either.

"By the way, the sound isn't working in the DIVX player either."

Check your audio setup - You probably have the .WAV audio muted...

(This should take care of your WinDVD problem as well)

[emony]

Only thing muted is the mic on playback. That was the first thing I checked actually

[setarip]

If, for both WinDVD and DivX files, it's only files with .AC3 audiostreams that are silent, search your system for "IVIAUDIO.AX"...

[emony]

IVIAUDIO.AX is present in a couple different folders inside the main Intervideo folder.

Problem fixed! I uninstalled WinDVD and got PowerDVD instead. Much better program and it works!

Thanks for your aid.

Congratulations on resolving your dilemma!


I guess that's what makes computers so "interesting". I've NEVER had any difficulty with WinDVD ;>}

No Sound with Intervideo WinDVD 5!

I have the exact same problem.

Checked the files and yup they are there.

Everything else including DIVX works fine.
Just no sound from WinDVD.

Any suggestions?
And I don't have the money to purchase powerdvd

Hi,

I've got the same problem, funny thing is I used to be able to play DVD fine but all of a sudden it's stopped playing the sound. Did we end up finding a solution (other than uninstalling and getting a new program)?

cheers
