RE: Bad Music Playback in WMP 10

Not sure if I can help, but maybe I could help troubleshoot.
Your DVD probably has a direct connect to your sound card via a small
Audio cable.
Your CD drive and HDD are processing through the IDE Cable to the Mother
board to the Sound Card. You may start by going to Volumn, click on advanced
and see where the levels are. Check your settings for the input etc, Are
your speakers amplified and if so do you have them plugged into the Headphone
jack (amplified output) or the Aux Output of your soundcard. They should be
plugged into the Aux Output of the card.
Try it.
