no software settings change, i think its a hardware defect because the volume control is a separate unit

What volume control are you talking about? The one you get when you click on 'sound' icon in system tray/control panel? Or you mean volume control on your speakers/amplifier? Please clarify.

Have you tried a different amplifier or set of speakers? If the volume cuts immediately from high to low to high to low etc. then it's usually a dodgy cable. Have you tried gently moving the wires and plugs about to see if it effects the volume?

Sounds like you need a new pair of speakers, I'm afraid

Ok, first question, did it used to play them ok or has it never worked?
 
 Second question, are you trying to play DVDs with a different region code than your drives / software is set to?
 
 Third question, can it read data dvds ok?

are these discs that youve used before or new ones also are they +r/-r 
 just a though if your trying to use a media that may not be support or that some discs aint liked by some drives even if they are compatible.  |

Yeah, I was just gonna ask is it only certain movies?
 
 Have you installed anything recently, between the time when they did play and didn't?

1.what's the difference between -r and +r and which are better (+r are somewhat cheaper here).
 2. what are your experiences with dvd-rw, are they worth buying?

@blayv
 
 The main difference is DVD-R is compatible with about 93% of all standard DVD players whereas DVD+R is compatible with about 83%.
 
 This means that if you intend to use your DVD-RW drive to make movie disks to play on a standard (not a computer) DVD player, or other people's computers then you should go for DVD-R.
 
 If you're only interested in making DVDs for use on your computer, you can get away with just a DVD+R burner.
 
 In terms of ease of use performance and reliability, there's no difference between the two formats

theres not a load of difference between the one write +r and -r just different formats really technically there will be differences but for mere mortals putting films or data there aint much to chose execpt burn times possibly 
 dvd rw either + or - are just re recordable meaning like a video tap if you dont want whats on the dic you can record over it. however different discs are better than others i used some phillips +rw recently your supposed to be able to record over then 1000 times i got about 4 before they started becoming unreadable or showing surface glitches.
 like a lot of things in life you get what you pay for.
 if its to cheap it will have corners cut to expensive they are just out to make a buck |

 Just to know, do you have creative speakers?
