DVDs play with no audio

Just bought a Samsung external DVD drive SE-S084B for my AAO D150. There is no audio when I play a DVD. CDs play fine on the drive, and DVDs burned with the drive play fine on other DVD players. I've gone thru every audio-related setting I can find. What's going on??

    Was that an auto-generated "solution?" I appreciate the response, but you obviously didn't read very carefully.
    I'm not having an problems burning DVDs. DVDs I've burned on the drive are not missing audio. Like I said: "DVDs burned with the drive play fine on other DVD players." The problem is: when I play a DVD, even a store-bought one, I get no audio.
    There is nothing wrong with the DVD, there is nothing wrong with the drive. I can plug the drive into my desktop and play DVDs without issue. I plug the same drive containing the same DVD into my netbook, and there is no audio.
    No other audio problems (that I'm aware of) with the netbook. I can play CDs no problem. I can burn DVDs no problem. The problem is only when playing DVDs: no sound.
    Netbook and drive are both brand new.
    I've checked for driver updates. Everything is current.

Nothing went wrong but it require audio codecs to be installed your DVD drive must be having a CD with it which has nero burning softwares and other like nero show time and dvd codecs. Install this programe from the cd supplied with it. use power DVD etc. many softwares are there .dvd play back

Testimonial: "Thanks so much! That is exactly what the problen was. I thought I had installed all the software that was with my external drive, but I hadn't."

You can find these reasons from the following aspects when your player plays no sound: Blu-ray player audio settings, HDMI cable connection error, incompatibility between your Blu-ray player and TV and Blu-ray discs damage or restriction.

I have just purchas a samsung se-s084C, and would like the user manuel

evelyn_padge --

I found this link on the actual Samsung site... it for an almost identical model (se-s084B), which should suffice... here is the link for the user manual in PDF format:

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200811/20081105100000609/SE-S084B_Eng.pdf

You can navigate to the same site as I did by the following link:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/howtoguide/supportHowToGuideMain.do

(I tried finding your model by searching the name, but the site had trouble bringing up the info, so I searched by: "Find by product or category ---> Office ---> Optical Drives ----> DVD Writer ---> se-s084B --- then click "select" at the right of the box

The resulting page gives a "fix" for "Error Code 39" (default is the How-To User guides tab), and the link above is under the "Downloads" tab...

Whew! Hope this helps!

HP Pavillion dv6121tx 15.4" notebook problem with DVD

Hi

It sounds like a hardware fault on the drive itself. The laser and focussing mechanisms are different for CDs and DVDs. The fact that the drive can read DVDs fine suggests that the laser and lenses can no longer focus correctly to deal with CDs.

Replacement of the drive would be the only fix, although you might find it a lot easier to buy an external USB DVD drive.

Doesn't read dvd's

This problem is down to failure of the laser and an only be solved by replacing it. Samsung are aware of this fault but will only offer a free replacement if the unit is still covered by it's warranty.
They do offer a replacement service but charge £94 for it.
