JaSSon Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hey fellas, I'm trying to watch a DVD on my lappy, and it plays fine except I can't hear any dialog! I can hear all the sound effects, and all the back ground noise, etc, but the vocals are REALLY quiet, even at 100% volume. Specifically I have trouble with movies with multiple voice tracks in different languages. The vocals are their own track. The DVD's play fine on my tv and have regular volume. I have tried using Media player's integrated equalizer with no success. I have also tried playing the DVD in Intervideo's WinDVD with the same results. Is there a filter I can run in the background that will enhance an audio track's volume? I don't need to be blasted with the sounds of trains and planes just to be able to finally hear people talking. I have had this problem with multiple DVD's on this laptop, so it's not a problem with the DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 if you have 3d sound turned on, turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Also, see if you have any DSP effects enabled, or have it set to run the DTS or 5.1 audio output. If the disc has a audio choice, go for 2 channel audio rather than 5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I couldn't find a setting for any 3D audio. But your comment on 5.1 got me thinking. I went into the audio properties (for the lappy, not the DVD) and I changed the speaker configuration from Laptop stereo to 5.1 surround. Presto! Just as it should be! Yes, this is the black friday HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
