Staticy Noise During DVD-Playback

Crimsonite · 8 Nov 2006 at 17:13

Hello~

I have a Creative SB64 Live! 5.1 Value. Whenever I play a DVD, it would make a staticy noise. I have to stop it, eject the DVD, wait 5sec, put it back in then play to rid of the noise...I checked all the cables/connections/drivers and everything is the way they should be...and the onboard sound is disabled since build of course. I'm running outta ideas here...can anyone give any insights? Thanx!

The rig:

AMD Athlon64 3200+ 2.61GHz @1.60v/238
ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
Kingston 1GB(2x512) PC3200 DDR400 Value
WD 120GB 7200RPM HDD w/8MB Cache
ATI X800Pro 256MB
Creative SB64 Live! 5.1 Audigy Value Pack
Enermax 600W Premium PSU

I know its a pain, but have you tried updating or re-installing the drivers?

In the DVD player settings, is there a sound option for "Quiet Environment", "Normal" and "Noisy Environment" ?

I tried updating the drivers to the latest...tried removing everything and reinstalling...tried updating from the oldest to the newest...nothing worked...

None of those options are available in my DVD drive...

What DVD software are you using?

Intervideo WinDVD7 Platinum

I tried playing DVD's using both DVD drives, Lite-On DVD-ROM and DVD-RW Dual Layers...same result every time..

Has the IDE channel that the DVD drive is on fallen back to PIO mode.

This happens all the time to me

to check it, right-click My Computer, then go:
Manage:

evice Manager::IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

Then check all the channels are running DMA mode by right clicking on the channel in Device Manager, then selecting Properties::Advanced.

If a channel is running in PIO mode, uninstall the channel, then run 'Add New Hardware' from control panel.
