First: Does this happen with all the DVD's or just one?
If all, do you have system sounds?
If not, check your sound drivers--reinstall if you have to.
If you have system sounds and no DVD sounds, you could have one of two problems:
You are using a DVD recorded on another machine in a different format than your computer likes. (for instance, you are trying to play a DVD that was recorded on a DVD+R instead of a DVD-R. These two DVD's are different and the DVD+R doesn't play well across systems.
You could have a defective DVD player and you'll need to replace it. I would suspect this if no DVD plays correctly.
You could also check the DVD program you are using.

No sound while playing a dvd or cd in my valor dvd headunit radio has sound just not when i play a dvd or cd

Make sure your cables are in right spot on both..



DVD player (if using the composite cables yellow white red)

on DVD makes sure it says Video OUT and color match



TV look at the back and dont just plug in cuz you see colors. look at rear.

On Back where they are at should say Video 1 2 3 whichever one has the red yellow white cables and say Video IN. match colors then try. should work.

Which disc can be used to recrord on ?

According to the user manual, the following DVD media you can record with this unit are:

RECORDING: TYPES OF DISCS YOU CAN USE FOR RECORDING

DVD+R 2.4x, 4x, or 8x ONLY; DVD+RW 2.4x and 4x ONLY.

NOTES:
It is NOT possible to record on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
IMPORTANT: It is NOT possible to record content that is copy-protected. This is usually true for most pre-recorded DVD discs and most pre-recorded VHS tapes.

PLAYBACK: TYPES OF DISCS YOU CAN PLAY

DVD discs - DVD movie discs (DVD-ROM); DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD-RW (must be recorded using video mode or VM); DVD-R (must be recorded using video mode or VM and must be finalized).
CDs (Audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW) - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. mp3 discs are CDs (CD-R or CD-RW)
that contain mp3 files. This product also plays CDs that contain JPEG files and Multisession CDs.
Video CD (VCD) and Super Video CD (S-VCD) discs - Like DVD video discs, VCDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc.
VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than DVD discs.
Super Video CDs (S-VCDs) can be used to record up to 70 minutes of digital sound and video, with MPEG-2 standard video and MPEG-1 standard audio-but you must use DVD+R or DVD+RW discs to record on your DVD/VCR not S-VCDs.
Additionally, S-VCD disc compatibility is dependent on which MPEG coding software, disc design software, and disc writer software are used; and the discs themselves.

(The above information is extracted from the user manual for this particular model and is a guide only)

I find it very strange that the user manual does not provide any information about DVD-R recording since this is a DVD recorder. I guess you could try those types of discs in it, otherwise it will playback finalised DVD-R discs recorded/burned in another machine.

I assume you have the original manual for this unit. If not, you may be able to download it free from various sites. (retrevo may have it but they may ask you for email address prior to downloading)

I hope the above information helps a tiny bit with regard to DVD formats for this unit.

There is know sound output when i play a cd/dvd how can i fix this

That will depend on how you have it wired in....

If you are using composite or SD video, you need to connect separate audio cables (round red and white RCA connectors) between the set and the CD/DVD player.

An HDMI connection carries sound and video and if available, should work (this is dependent on the manufacturer of the player- not all will place CD sound through the HDMI connection)

If you are using regular cable coax connections, make sure the TV is on the same channel as the OUT jack on your CD/DVD player. Again, a CD may not play sound if connected in this manner.

If you are using the component video connections (usually a red, blue, and green RCA jack) you also need to connect the red and white audio cables.

Good luck!
