| 494535 | 2006-10-26 19:02:00 | I have a brand new Hewlett-Packard, the normal DVD writer, and a Sony in the expansion bay. With all the software and hardware volumes set to high, including the one on the screen, I can't get enough sound volume from a DVD movie in either player to sit more than two or 3 feet away. This is the first time I've been able to watch movies on my computer, but I'm assuming that this is not normal? (I'm using internal speakers on the screen at present, because my external speakers are shot.) GS | Guerilla Surgeon (6848) | ||
| 494536 | 2006-10-26 21:00:00 | DVD's are generally a lot quieter than .avis or .mp3s, but usually I don't have to crank up the stereo by much. What software are you using to play the DVD? PowerDVD, WinDVD or some other? |

| 494537 | 2006-10-27 01:10:00 | Well, thanks to you all, I have tried that but at the moment it will not play any of the DVDs I have taken out of the library because they are the wrong zone! Is this a common problem? Why normal DVD player that I use with a television will play anything.GS | Guerilla Surgeon (6848) | ||

| 494540 | 2006-10-27 02:16:00 | Double click on the speaker icon in the task bar while your DVD is playing, then reduce the volume on everything except the one that affects the DVD levels, put that where it suits you and you may find a compromise where all sound sources are roughly equal. You've probably done this already, so feel free to consider me an idiot. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 494541 | 2006-10-27 02:22:00 | Mind if I add a comment sort of related to this as well? I find in DVD's, the voice is always too quite, and I have to crank the sound up. Of course, then when the music starts playing in the movie, im blown against the wall. Is there any way to equalise the voice and music, similar to what has been suggested above? | mejobloggs (264) | ||

Might be Murphy's law at work. I did get this effect when I used the Sound Blaster fancy software on the karaoke setting to make TV ads interesting. It was no help with those bits between the ad-breaks though.:blush: |

| 494543 | 2006-10-30 19:06:00 | Gottit thanks. Followed r2x1's advice. Still not good but better. Also found computer set on zone 2. Didn't believe they wouldn't set it for zone 4 at shop. Trap for young (well old) players eh? | Guerilla Surgeon (6848) | ||
| 494544 | 2006-10-30 19:15:00 | If this is a dvd you're using with XP, I wouldnt change the Zone too many times. It locks its after 4-5 changes. A normal dvd (well most these days) can play any zone. But, because you're using XP? it only gives u so many changes before it locks it completely on the last zone you changed it to. Unless u use a program that bypasses this / doesnt worry about zones etc. |
