When i play dvd iso's from the hard drive i get dont get any audio from the movies, i do in the menus or extras thats it. why is this?

Press ctrl i and go to the Advanced Info... tab. Post that here.

also just found out it happen even with the dvd in the drive, btw what are you looking for in there i would give you all of it, but it seems i cant copy & paste whats in there, but what your looking for is the stream #'s right? i have seven the audios area all in a52 in codecs i guess thats what u need?

A/52 (ac3) is supported by VLC. However your audio card may not be capable of 48k audio sampling.

its a sb audigy 4 pro, and the digital sample freq. is on 48k it can do 96k to and it set to digital w/ 5.1 output it's over spdif cable...now what?

also i changed the audio output module to win32 waveout it was directx, can i can get the audio from 5.1 now but the front main audio is lower and the background audio is louder, but if i select a52 over s/pdif i get no audio like before why is this? it over that kind of cable and nothing is wrong with the cable.

Now nothin (I have the same sound card). Since you have the SB Audigy 4, you could try some third party driver that work: kx audio drivers v3538

They seem to work better then Creative's own audio drivers, but if you don't think so, then you could always unistall them and reinstall you're old ones.

nah that didnt help so what about:

The S/PDIF issue was (according to other users) corrected in these drivers:

These are beta drivers, and it says my card isnt fully supported no thanks!

it there a way to force vlc just to use the 2 front two rear or stereo even?
i hope you know what i mean..

The audigy card has been a issue here for many users and finding drivers has been the problem. The only other chip set or card is the Realtek AC97 audio, of which older drivers has resolved the issue.

When using the older method of addressing the audio card doesn't resolve the issue, the problem is the drivers.

The only other issue that may create problems is overclocking the CPU or Video card which causes errors in timing.

neither are overclocked, how can i make the dvd iso just play 2 front 2 rear or just stereo my default instead of the 5.1?

You could disable the “Use S/PDIF when available” and while the DVD is playing, right-click on the video window and scroll down to “Audio device” and you could choose “2 Font 2 Rear” or “Stereo”.

If you did happen to install the drivers that I linked you to earlier, then by default (intentionally) the front and rear channels are swapped. Go to the “kx” console at the bottom of your system tray and then you have the option on the first tab to swap the front and rear channels, or even easier, swap the plugs on the back of your sound card for front and rear.

I hope this finally helps you out.

i didnt install the drivers, since they are beta & half supported on my card, the reason why i was asking to defaulty use the 2 frnt 2 rear or stereo is because i can change it manually like you mentioned, yes i know how to but this it for a htpc, and i cant set it manually like this every time you understand right that would be aggravating since i'am on my couch and not in from of my kb & mouse...there is no cfg or any other way to have it not use the 5.1 at all??

Really this is not a VLC issue as 99% of all cards work here. We try to accommodate everyone in these forums and help them get a working VLC even when there are hardware, firmware, operating system or other software issues. But when a user can't do or refuses suggestions there is nothing more we can do.

I didnt refuse to do anything, i asked for help..i asked a way to do something, what you cant give me that answer to the question i asked, no?
you just have to be a rude about it! eh? maybe i wasnt asked you!

Ah! OK! NO!

Well thanks alot, can some please give some more help it getting its just not solving my issue..thanks
