Turn up the volume! ;)

Do other movies work?

Other ones work fine, we took one back and got another copy and that one did not have sound either.

That's odd. I'll see if my brother's copy plays on the computer.

is it playing in DTS or Dolby Digital, and which does your computer support?

Tried the dvd on a standalone?

All DVD players support DTS and DD decoding to stereo.

Yes, but this is a PC, which might only have a soundcard that supports DD.

I was referring to DVD player software.

And I was refering to what might actually be the problem.

If he's using analog out on his soundcard, the soundcard will never be passed DD or DTS data.
