No DVD sound

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

After reinstalling XP, my DVD player no longer plays sound. CD and system
sounds are fine. (I had this problem when I first installed the DVD, but
re-installing DVD software (PowerDVD) fixed the problem. Now no media player
plays DVD sound.

DVD is a MadDog Multimedia Entertainer 16x DVD-ROM; sound card is integral
on the FIC AU13 otherboard (AMD N-Force2, I think). Sounds like some kind of
driver confusion. Sggestions?

That wasn't the case for me and I had to install the AC3 codec.
