The strange thing is that if I play dvd through Media center, I have sound but when I play it the media player.. or when it plays it through media player automatically, when you insert the dvd, there is no sound at all What can it be?
That is exactly what was happening to me, open your playback devices in the task bar and see if you have "speakers" and some other digitial or whatever device, disable one make sure you still have sound normally and reattempt to run the dvd and see if that works, if not disable the other and enable the formerly disabled and rinse repeat, by the sounds of it you should have dvd sound and nothing tied up after this.

thanks for the help...... heres what I did. Since my sound is onboard, I installed the drivers for that I then uninstalled the drivers and deleted them. I hit scan for hardware changes and let windows install the default drivers ( which ares realtek ) and bingo!!!!!!!!!! I pop in a dvd, autoplay it in WMP and I now hear the movie lolol

Did you try going into system devices and uninstalling the sound device?? dont forget to check the box that says "Delete software files/drivers" then runa scan hardware change and let windows install \ that should fix the problem

Actually solved my problem, goto your playback devices and disable the one that is your onboard sound, if you are as I am, you bought a better than onboard soundcard and for some reason both vista and win7 load both in some fashion into this, disable and see if you get your sound in windows7 media center.

Actually I have sound with every application that deals with it.. but once I play a dvd through WMP no sound.... and yet if I test the sound while the DVD plays in WMP, the test tells me that i have something using sound in progress (WMP) and the test wont work.. so I close WMP and test the sound and its good.. sooooooooo basically I can play dvds everywhere else including Media center..... except in WMP

I'm having the same problem sound works every where except when trying to play a DVD movie on WMP I tried the work arounds a few of you suggested .................... No joy :(
Another issue I seem to have is I can't view any sort of DVD disk that has data on it. I backed up all my pictures and files by burning them onto a DVD disk using Vista. The dvd works fine on my other pc. For the heck of it I grabbed a non-DVD disk that I had some old pictures and data on the player reads the disk no problem.
