Ok, you need to make sure digital sound is enabled in DVD properties. Go to device manager and select your DVD drive, then click Properties. In the Properties tab, check "Enable digital CD audio".
If that doesn't work, try installing the AC3 codec. This should enable sound for just about all DVDs. postysteve13

Get VLC Media Player, link in my signature, and install that. See if you are able to view DVDs using that program.
