[nymph4]

I use win xp pro  and  2 GB of RAM
and Win Mediai Player Clasic Houme
And 64 MB of video RAM

All of my DVDs and I buy them they all play and skip sound and a little of the video skips.

If I play CDs they play greate.

And any files from the hard drive play ok.

The answer is in the specs you provided.  It probably has no buffer, either.

You might be able to speed things up some by rearranging drives.
If you have 2 IDE connectors and 1-IDE Hard Drive and 1-DVD/CD Drive, make sure there is only one drive per motherboard connector.

The only IDE controller used is Master for the DVD drive I have noe IDE hard drives.

And it has something called  DVD  RAM  Write  Speed  12 X

On 2nd thought, I can see nothing wrong.

[nymph4]

I have just one  IDE controller and one  IDE  DVD  ROM.
None of my Hard Drives are IDE.

And my DVD  ROM is the only thing connected to the  IDE  Controller.

And it is set to  UDMA  in device Mnager.

And the video on all DVDs skip and the audio from DVDs skip.

It did work great a fue weeks ago but not now.

I realy think it is a setting I am over looking in  Media Player Clasic Houme??

Any help??

[nymph4]

OK I put a Star Track DVD in the drive and it starts up and the music plays befor the Menu comes up.

As soon as I pick a Title to play from the menu and it plays just the Video plays smooth  but the audio skips.

what does this meen anyone??

It sounds like  maybe a speed thing or something.

Do DVD drive have to be faster  and do I or can I ajust it some how??
I am lost

[nymph4]

I just tryed to play DVDs with VLC and the audio skips so it is not my Media Player Clasic Houme.

If the audio from DVDs skip but not audio from  CDs  does it still meen it may be Dirty in the DVD ROM drive??

Replace the drive...
Especially if it is more than 3 years old...
They don't make 'em like they used to ...and a new dual-layer DVD burner is only 40 Bucks shipped from newegg...

[nymph4]

it is new not even one year old

Hi

So if has less  than one year is still in Warranty.
Contact  the brand from PC and them the repair Center from your area.

Hope that Helps.
