Hi,
What is happening when I have optical out of my sound card to my Yamaha reciever and little bits of sound go missing every few minutes during playback of BD movie using PDVD?
Is this one of the problems that could be solved using analog out?
These are the 'clean' uninstall instructions I got from Cyberlink recently. I guess they might help.There is one thing I forgot to mention. I did have and OEM version of PowerDVD that gave me the same problem. I understand that OEM versions are stereo. I removed it and upgraded it to full version. Before that I did contact Cyberlink and they said that my problem was because it was the OEM version. Could the problem be that I didn't uninstall the OEM version all the way and it is causing interferance?
Thank you for contacting CyberLink Online Support.

bachuka, I have worried about just that. I wish I knew what the temps are when playing a movie.
I did hook up to analog and I don't get any problems with sound. In fact the sound is a little better sounding. I just wish I had better cables and Y adapters to use.
So if I get no problems with the sound in analog and I still do with optical out what does that mean?
Depending on your video card you may be able to use Speedfan. On my system this shows me the temp of each cpu core, my video card, my two hdds and my motherboard temp. You can overlay this on top of your movie if you are just testing, but you can also set it to email you if thresholds of your choosing are reached on any of those sensors.bachuka, I have worried about just that.
