I ran both commands and also installed mpv. Playback is now no problem. Sound is completely gone now. There is simply a grey out sound icon in the top right hand column.On 21/07/15 09:01, Richard Brown wrote:Loaded up School of Rock DVD and nothing happened. I ran the command as Bad Apple suggested but it doesn't seem to recognise a dvd. So gave these DVDs a try:Phone Booth - loaded fine and played without audio. Towering Inferno - Made the noise but never loadedThe Pursuit of Happiness - Made the noise and loaded. Played with no audio again.I have since noticed that the speaker icon in the top right hand corner is greyed out but when you play YouTube video there is sound!Any thoughts on where to next please? How would I check sound out please?Now you're running into codec issues as well as CSS problems. Did you run both commands, to install libdvdread4 *and* then run the script to setup libdvdcss afterwards? You also probably want to try a better playback tool - you haven't said what you're using but if it's the inbuilt player "totem" it's not very good. Install VLC and use it's own feature to open disks for playback - VLC bundles internal support for most types of CSS and codecs. Personally I'd install mpv instead, the successor to mplayer/mplayer2 - again, far more features and much more chance of things working properly.Lastly for Ubuntu, install pretty much as many of the gstreamer codec bundles as well:sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-uglyThat will pull in enough codecs to play pretty much everything. As per usual, give it a try and report back.I'm slightly surprised that people are still watching DVDs... Cheers
