DVD playing problem (cracked & vibrating voices)

[Biplav]

yes its for xp only.
and my motherboard is 845 glv mercury. but the sound drivers are same for all mercury motherboards(810,810e,845 and 865)


this is the cd main page

this is the "sound "folder
*img170.imageshack.us/img170/8306/sound27ry.jpg

this is the "c-media" folder
*img170.imageshack.us/img170/1963/sound31fg.jpg

this is the "driver" in the "c-media folder"

*img319.imageshack.us/img319/8159/sound44lp.jpg

as u can c there are these folders:
advance
ini
wdm
win_95
win_98
win_nt40
of these when i installed my sound drivers i chosed wdm folder(i installed sound driver from device mgr as the auto install program has been removed frm mercury cd for c-media sound drivers. yah it used to come earlier. but now u got to install from device mgr only.)

and this is the wdm folder

One more thing.... can you tell me what is the number of your mobo CD (ie, the version number). Mine is some 1 D or E (as you can see it's old, 6 years )

Ok. Plz tell me how much space the C-media in total takes? 22.5mb?

By the way, what is WDM? Why Win XP not there (or is WDM related to XP?)

In the c-media folder, can you see the setup file? Thats the thing I remember when I used for me. OK plz tell the version and space in total.


A big thanks for the pains

 

[Biplav]

well i think my cd version is 8.32A(this is wat is written on the cd )
and the c-media folder is 33.1Mb
the "drivers"folder in c media folder is 22.3MB

yup there is a setup.exe in the c media folder.
i missed it.
but the point is the setup installs additional software (other than drivers)
so for that reason i install from device manager.
that way only the necessary drivers are installed.
i can upload the full folder if u want.
but i am sure that only the wdm folder is required as i installed from that folder only(after copying it to my hdd)

 

[drgrudge]

Ok... plz tell me how to go abt in uninstalling the thing.
Here is the screenshot of my device manager:

So, WDM is sufficient to re-install agian?

 

[Biplav]

yes it is sufficient
but dont worry i am uploading the entire c media folder(in rar format ofcourse)
will take time sud complete by 11 o clock.
and u need to uninstall the
audio codecs and cmi8738.... audio device

 

[Biplav]

in the meanwhile
try doing it with wdm folder(i am 100% sure it shud work)

Ok... plz tell me how to go abt in uninstalling the thing.
Here is the screenshot of my device manager:

Double click second option, update driver, install from a specific loc, don't search i will chose.

-k

 

[Biplav]

ok uploaded the full cmedia folder with the setup.exe app.
*www.megaupload.com/?d=267AD505
its a rar file
18.47 mb

 

[drgrudge]

This is what I get when I did as you said Keith Sebastian:
*img92.imageshack.us/img92/8013/untitled1hm.jpg

And when I did as this:
*img360.imageshack.us/img360/3606/untitled3df.jpg
It showed me some 4 drivers and I clicked yes and the driver updated (or thats what it said). I am yet to restart (for the effect to take place), lets see what happens.


Or if that dont work (after I uninstall) , shall I do this:
Should I click on the red part highlighted in the image below:
*img237.imageshack.us/img237/2042/untitled5gx.jpg
And install from where Biplav gave me?



By the way, thanks for the support Keith Sebastian and Biplav for the drivers.

 

[Biplav]

ur welcome grudge.
well i think it shud work the way u did it. else wait till 2 o clock and download the full cmedia folder and there is a setup file. u dont need to go to device mgr then.

 

[drgrudge]

Ok.. I just restarted, the sounds and other things work fine, but still the DVD dont play well


By the way, I forgot to tell whenever I play the DVD video movies, then it dont play as it should do. It plays and then pauses for a split second and then plays and this process is so fast as of it seems that it plays continously. And the sound is not good when this happens and this is my problem. I need to make it play properly. I dont know what went wrong
It used to play very well till last sunday

Now I am gonna try and uninstall the drivers and then install them again and see if that works.


@Biplav,
Thanks man, I will d/l this morning at 2am. Will have to uninstall and then install using this setup file?

 

[Biplav]

yah better uninstall and then install rather than reinstalling over it.
hmmm...
there seems to be some other prob too. how big and old is ur ram?

 

[drgrudge]

My ram is 128mb and almost 1.5-2 years old

Plz tell me how to reinstall as well. Is that as in the screenshot no. 3 in my earlier post?

 

[Biplav]

when the video doesnt play continuously there is under most circumstances is due to inadequate ram.
i had 128 mb ram and dvd used to be a bit u knw as if missed some frames.
but after i upgraded to 256mb ram the problem doesnt come.
well there is more than just audio problem as u just said u get video probs too.
but anyhow
unistall the drivers by clicking the uninstall butoon as u have already mentioned.
download the whole setup c-media file.
there u just unrar and select the setup.exe file there.
best of luck

Actually I dont think it would be your Audio Codec problems but thats just my opinion. Could you check otu something for me. Go to the control panel and then open Sound and Audio Devices. Go to the hardware tab and then scroll down and you should have a line which says video codecs. Select and click on properties and then go to the properties tab of the next window and can you post a screenshot of the codecs displayed. Do the same thnig for Audio Codecs to be safe also.

 

[drgrudge]

I tried to clean the registry entries as well, still no luck The thing, looked OK last night but today morning, it's same as it is. Still the voices are not proper.


exx_2000, Here they are:

Still do you think it'll be codec problem? I use VLC player which dont need codecs.

 

[casual_gamer]

just reinstall the os man...

 

[drgrudge]

^^
I dont want to do that, so only I am taking so much pains to find out what's wrong.

Agian, I will configure my modem, install the hardwares, drivers and all the formalities.. mine is a old PC, so it's hard to find reinstall and make it work as it used to do.


Plz suggest/troubleshoot as what is wrong...

 

[casual_gamer]

Have you installed software like Total Recorder, or any Sound recorder because the same thing had happened to me couple of years ago only in Quicktime player.

Go to Controlpanel --> Sounds and Multimedia click on Audio tab, and under Sound Playback select your sound card because if you had installed if you had installed Totalrecorder it would install its own driver and change the playback device to its own driver.

hope this helps.....

 

[expertno.1]

hmmm

the last option to reisntall the os

if u think that its difficult to cinfigure and install drivers again

then no problem

use this softie and create a exe

after installing the os jsut run this and every driver is back
