Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:42 pmHi, just got the DVD drive. It says though:
QUOTE
For IDE optical drives, configure the drive jumper to set the device to either Master, Slave, or Cable Select mode before installing it into the chassis[/quote]
What does that mean?

Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 7:48 pmIt installed all right but when you put in a DVD, no sound comes out. What do I do to fix this?
Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 7:55 pmokay. SOund working for CD (e.g. a music CD) but not for DVD. Any ideas why this may be?
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 10:56 amOut of where? the jack on the front of the drive? or the computer sound card?
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:51 pmSorry.
As it turns out this computer didn't have an MPEG-2 codec. (after I uninstalled nero... long story)
Does anyone have any links to any free codecs that work?

Personally I prefer the Combined Community Codec Pack... CCCP...
It will play anything you throw at it and is relatively small at around 6 or 7megs... also has Media Player Classic, which is nice and clean... unlike the bloat that is Windows Media Player...
