I assume you're the webmaster. In W2K you've got a neat utility called SOUND RECORDER (sndrec32.exe), open your background music file, goto EFFECTS select INCREASE VOLUME BY 25%. That ought to do it.

That's not the player, it's the movie. Audio and Video get out of sync easily in some conversions. You can resync with a program like VirtualDub:\nhttp://www.virtualdub.org/\n\nInstructions: First, make sure both Video and Audio menus have Direct Stream Copy selected! Then go to Audio > Interleaving... There you can make a skew correction. Select a postivie or negative delay value. It;ll take some trial and error. When you're done, File > Save as AVI... (or whatever).

You may need a new/different CODEC.\nTry XP CODEC pack : http://www.xpcodecpack.com/\nThis CODEC pack is available for free.  You might want to try using a different downloader.  I use Utorrent and BitTorrent, both work really well.

Try going to Control Panel and adjust the sound settings

Is it a LEGAL download?\nIf so contact the company you downloaded it from.\n\nIs it an ILLEGAL download?\nIf so, You probably shouldent be watching it anyhow, and since many of the people who create the files are inexperienced and inept, The audio and video tracks get messed up alot, the quility is often poor and well.. you get what you pay for.

Assuming that your speakers are on, and that you're not on mute, I have one suggestion for you......\n\nSometimes when I'm watching a video, I'll turn the volume on the video player down.....and if I forget to turn it back up, that same thing happens to me. Call up your player and turn the volume to "max". I bet that will give you your sound.

Yes, you can always change the bit-rate down. I can hear the difference at 64kbps. It sucks. My library is backed up at 192 kbps and sounds fine. I have since upgraded to a dual layer dvd burner & have been thinking up re-doing the whole thing to an even higher bit-rate but am unsure when more stops increasing quality. I believe cd quality is referred to by Windows Media Player to be approx. 128 kbps. I think the extra space/size helps when copying or burning. A small blemish taken from a music file 3 times the size will not be as noticeable as one noticeably smaller. Just my opinion.

Maybe u need a program to modify the type of vedio you have?\nwhat format is the movie?

Glad to be of assistance :-) Check your sound controls as well, make sure nothing is muted, double click the speaker icon in the lower right corner, near the clock, Play control window will appear. None of them should be muted, make sure the sliders are all the way up as well.If you click the options button, then propertys, it should change the window to show playback and recording controls, make sure you're adjusting the playback controls. Recording obviously won't effect the volume of mp3's.

What you experience is referred to as video and audio tracks out of sync(hronization). If this is phenomena is appearing throughout the whole movie, it is most likely an error produced when ripping/converting the file to a different format by the up-loader. To correct this is possible but a very tedious work that would require some knowledge I do not expect in your case (sorry to sound blunt :(  ......).

Go to your setup in windows media and make it the default player.\n\nI hope this helps

It sounds like you need to update the drivers for your sound card.  You might also need to update the drivers for your DVD player, it sounds to me like you're missing a codec for the audio.  Also check and see if there any updates for whatever program using the play your DVDs.  Any one of, or all three of these may fix your problem.
