DVD player audio issue (Win2k) / MPEG-2 Driver

[John Freed]

I'm using Win2K and used to play commercial movie DVDs using DVDplay.exe, Roxio
Creator Player etc.
Recently I have installed and uninstalled Nimo DivX Xdiv drivers, and then it
caused DVDplay.exe (& Roxio Creator) to play the DVD's video but without the
audio (otherwise sound is OK on my computer). I would guess something's wrong
with the MPEG2 audio driver or its configuration.

Now, on login, and whenever I launch DVDplay.exe or Roxio player etc., I get the
following message:
"While setting up DVD-Video playback, it was found that
* Audio will not be available during the playback, because the audio device
and/or driver is not working. Please make sure that the audio device works
properly."

The DVD drive seems to be OK, and I can see the video, but cannot hear any
audio.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled MediaPlayer 9.0 and ActiveX, DirectShow, but
no luck, the problem sustained.

Can anyone suggest any solution.

Thanks,
DrDSP

Apparently when you uninstalled the Nimo, the MPEG drivers settings
was not set back to prior drivers and maybe they're in your disk, but
not registered in Windows. The best thing to do is to reinstall the
MPEG2 drivers (I suppose your DVDplay.exe may have these drivers, I
don't use this player). You may try with any other DVD player
software, in order to verify your Windows installation is not the
problem and you can play DVDs (MPEG2) movies with no problems at all.

Good luck,
