I know this problem is a little weird but I do not have audio feed with DVD playback (everything indicates I do. ie, i can still use the mute icon) but have perfect sound with Blu-ray playback through HDMI. Audio menu is set to "HDMI" and I have tried both "PCM" and "non-encoded DTS...." to no avail. I am using an ATI 4830 video card on Vista Business 32. Is anyone encountering the same problem? Or is it just me?

I am too. I'm using a 4850 card. Vista Premium 64 bit. No audio with files on my hard drive, but blue-rays play perfectly.

I am not really sure how I fixed it on Vista Pro 32 but I believe it started to work when all Windows updates were downloaded and installed. You should also go download the latest Realtek HD Audio Driver from their website.

I am running Window 7 Pro 64 now (it is much better than Vista! I would only buy the Win 7 Pro if you plannig ot upgrade bc Win 7 Home is lacking while Win 7 Ultimate is excessive unless you need to run it in different languages.) and no problems what so ever!

Thanks for your reply. It sounds as if your setup was similar to mine! I did manage to get it to work briefly a few minutes ago but after stopping PDVD and restarting it it didn't work anymore and I can't recreate it! The really annoying thing is DVDs will play fine on Cyberlink DVD Suite which came with my laptop but obviously no good for Bluray! Very frustrating!
