There is a horrible way to set the speaker config in basic. How brave are you with API's and registry hacks?

I also believe there is an AC'97 control panel with the new driver which can alter and automatically detect the speaker setup.

After trying several things to no avail the conclusion was reached that there was something not right about the Vista software Home Basic. I downloaded and installed a copy of VLC Player. I now have video and sound on DVD's. Problem solved!!

Since VLC uses its own CODECS. and

Used GSPOT to determine needed CODECS for DVD with these results:
Video Codec - MPEG2 (installed)
Audio Codec - AC3 (installed)
Downloaded and installed new Audio Codec in case installed one was corrupted.
Still do do not have DVD audio.

Why not re-install/repair Media Player 11 .. looks like it is corrupt.. by downloading the standalone version.
