       DVD audio issues in Windows 7

       DVD audio issues in Windows 7
       Windows 7 runs well even on old notebooks, say reviewers, and in
       general they're right. But we have seen reports of problems, for
       example with DVD audio, where movie sound is either completely
       unintelligible or doesn't appear at all.
       Should anything similar happen to you then head off to Control
       Panel, click Hardware and Sound > Sound, right-click your
       current default playback device (it'll have a green tick
       displayed) and select Properties.
       Then click Advanced, clear any settings in the Exclusive Mode
       box and click OK. You've now ensured that older or badly-behaved
       drivers can't take complete control of the speakers any more,
       and this alone will often be enough to get your system working
       again. (But if it doesn't, installing new audio drivers is your
       next best option.)
