    Hi
    I have been trying to figure out a driver problem for 4 days but realised it is an acer arcade problem.

    Does anyone else have an 8930G too with windows 7? With my system I can only play blu ray movies in 2 channel and not the 6 channel it is supposed to be, are people having the same issue or have you got around it and if so, how?

    Other than this, is there another software that will play blu ray movies and let me use my remote control etc?

    Cheers

    I dont have one, but i think you have a problem with your sound drivers or vid drivers.Also update bluray drivers.

    I would say it's something to do with your drivers. Try updating all of them.

    Also check the settings within Acer Arcade Deluxe - that might knock something loose.

    cannot change settings in acer arcade. I am only given 2 speakers as an option which is pretty cack. I think it must be a 64 bit issue as I have not had it working with vista 64 bit and windows 7 64 bit either. I am going on the lookout for another software to play movies, gonna try this arcsoft theatre thing.

    All drivers are latest ones. It is probably that the arcade is not compatible with 64 bit os. Ill try other software tough.
