    If the DVD are original then you should be able to hear audio but if you downloaded the movie then you might need some audio codecs. I suggest you get this:

    not saying get a new card but try changing the speaker connection to another port on the sound card to see that works. when playing audio, is that off a cd or off the hd & same thing with the movie because if plays with sound off the hd but no sound off the rom drive(s) than you are missing the audio cable from the rom drive to the onboard soundcard.

    who makes your motherboard so can see what version of realtek it is using & give you link to updated driver?

    Try downloading some more audio codecs before going inside your computer since it messes up your warranty.

    ddp might be right also.. well it makes sense to me
