Creative labs dvd-rom

Also, does the DVD still playback?

You could try installing the latest drivers for yer sound. What's yer
soundcard. If the video still plays back, 'tis not yer DVD-ROM, but some
other problem like with a CODEC or sound driver.

New problem

uninstalled IDE controller and the drivers reinstalled themselves. I got
the DVD to work using windows media player, real player and interactual.
However, after about 5 or 6 minutes the sound went off. I tried starting
the DVD from the middle and the same thing happened.

Any thoughts

You could just remove the IDE controller device ( not the primary
or
secondary device, but the parent device ) and reboot. It will redect
the
chipset drivers. That would be easier and quicker and will redetect

you
change motherboards. Otherwise XP won't boot with the new mobo
without

By any chance are you using a demo version of the DVD player apps? Some of
them used to have the audio cutout aftera while. Just thought I'd ask.

Do you know what the model number of yer motherboard is? It seems to me to
be an Intel 810 chipset mobo. Some of these have Intel audio drivers for
Win2k only and not for XP. I'm guessing they should be alright. Also, one
i810 chipset has only Win98 drivers.

I found a driver source which claimed to have a unified binary at:

http://sound-cards.driverfiles.net/p...11,904,7,.html

Use this at yer own risk. Driver support for this mobo seems to have stopped
a while ago. This driver binary actually has some missing files someone'd
posted on taht page.

I think yer best bet is to use a PCI soundcard. You can get a SB Live! 5.1
for around
http://us.creative.com/products/prod...=15&product=50,
if 'tis actually a sound problem that is. Also, some of these mobos,
