Your DVD-problem sounds familiar to me. Maybe your box has not enabled
DMA-mode for your player?
In this case the terminal is really your friend. Open one, type:
'sudo hdparm -d /dev/<your device>'
(If you don't know your device you can might just try (on most laptops
it's /dev/hdc), or you can type 'dmesg' in the terminal and check for
your device there. You can also open /var/log/dmesg with gedit, or have
a look in system> system-administartion> device-manager [crude
translation from German].)
When you have done so, you should see:
/dev/<your device>:
using_dma = 1 (on)
(Or 0 (off), as I guess is your case.)
If dma is off, turn it on by typing:
'sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/<your device>'
And your problems should be gone.
For your other issue it would be helpful if you provided further
information on your soundcard.
