Hi Folks

Simple question: I use Windows XP Pro (SP2) and have Power DVD Version 4.0. When I play a DVD, the sound is of poor quality. You can hear it well but it is crackily and popping, like an old vinyl record. It is the exact same if I use the Windows Media Player for a DVD. For this reason I'm fairly sure it is some setting that I have wrong. All other applications with sound are fine - iTunes/Flash Video/etc. I messed around with the Audio Properties and although it did improve a bit, it still isn't right. Can anyone solve this problem for me? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Check in task manager to see what % the CPU is using. As you give no hint of what hardware you have, the audio could be suffering due to insufficent resorces.
