The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

new DVD-ROM drive seems fine but no audio during DVD movie playback

Asked by heruraha in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: , , , ,

I recently installed a Sony DVD-ROM in my girlfriend's computer... XP recognized the hardware and since Windows Media plays DVDs now, I didn't bother installing any of the software that came with the drive.

The drive has worked just fine for data for a month or so now, (she uses it to play Sims 2 on DVD) and it appears to have no problems but when I went to play a DVD on it, I got no audio at all.  I tried a couple of different DVDs to no avail.

It may be worth mentioning that the system has a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 sound system, and I did not connect any audio cables to the drive...

It may also be worth mentioning that I rip trailers off of DVDs to post on my client's website to promote his latest films, and the DVD-ripping software doesn't see the audio tracks either...

So, I'm inclined to believe I'm either looking at a software deficiency or a hardware issue.. I'm just not sure where to start.  Of course my girlfriend doesn't know where the manual or discs went off to... Start Free Trial
