Can you be more specific? What do you mean by "will not play audio from dvd". What kind of dvd? or maybe it is a SACD???

more details
The DVD burner that I have in my desktop computer will play the video portion of a regular dvd movie that you can purchase at any store but there is no audio playback with it. Yet when I put any commericially available music cd in the dvd drive it plays back the audio no problem. I have both the windows MP9 series and the realone player for media players. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That points to the software used to play DVD's, so your unit is fine... check that the volume control in the player software isn't set very low or on mute. Also try playing a wav file from your PC and confirm that the soundcard is working properly.

.wav files play
.wav files play so the sound card is OK, volume control on software is not low and the mute button is not engaged either. I've removed the hardware and then reconnected it back but still no sound from a dvd. could i possibly be missing some drivers?

What software do you use for playing DVD's? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

You need a "real" dvd player app, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD... most likely Real Player is unable to decode multi-channel sound. Drive or computer manufacturers bundle a software DVD player in most cases.

and again why use a crappy app like real player when a good program exists and has been paid for (bundled license)??? free is good, but free *and* good is better

Was it?

Yes, with MPEG2 and AC3 decoders you can view the movie, but is this everything? What about subtitles, soundtrack selection, special features? Are these to be left aside just to use a freeware codec? A $20 standalone player that can be bought new on sale is far better as far as I am concerned.

Again, why bother? DVD recordable media is dirt cheap, not worth the effort of re-encoding and losing quality for $0.25 or less. And btw, the $20 player that I have (no-name) is a region-free PAL/NTSC unit and the quality isn't significantly worse from amother SONY that I have...
