I'm trying to play the King's Speech using PowerDVD 7.3 (came with the LG drive, a GGC-H20L v1.03). I ran Cyberlink's BR compatibility checker in case it was a copy protection thing but it came up all passes.
Audio in the trailers and the menu is fine. Soon as the movie starts there's just nasty screeching static noise. There's none of the actual movie soundtrack.
I tried playing I Am Legend BR, which plays perfectly. edit: Tried Inception, found same problem.
The only thing I can think of is the codec - King's Speech and Inception use DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 while I Am Legend uses Dolby TrueHD 5.1. When I load PowerDVD the background shows logos for, amongst other things, Blu-ray Disc, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
I've just upgraded this PC's CPU, RAM and motherboard - using a Realtek chip for which the latest driver is installed - so it's possible I've gone wrong somewhere.
This is a rental disk so no chance of a pirate copy, but no I'd never tried it on the previous build [Inception did play fine before]. No other BR player to try it on.
Any ideas? Preferably ones that don't involve shelling out the hilarious amount of money Cyberlink try to charge for the full version of the software (I could buy another drive bundled with the Express version for that!).
