<edit> try setting the player to use stereo sound - PowerDVD will not play 5.1 through my soundcard, for example, even though I have a 5.1 speaker set plugged in....(but an external DVD player works fine through the same speakers)

Cannot see anywhere that speakers are set to 5.1.

ATM I am using basic speaker set up, one sub woofer and two small L+R speakers, which is playing music CD's perfectly.

Funnily enough, using Media Player, if I go to Tools/Options/DVD then click on advanced it comes up with a Nero Options box. I have set my speakers to 2 speaker/stereo here but it has made no difference.
I will try the player in Nero and see how that goes.

At least I would if I could find it, give us a clue Gaz,

ffr the nero media player is downloadable as the last file of the four available for updates to Nero6 on the ahead website - PowerDVD is better though (imo)
