PM4.1, Vortex 2 and WinDVD weirdness

I am not sure whether this is the right forum for my question but here it goes.

I play DVDs with the latest WinDvD full version. Sound card is Aureal Vortex 2 (4 channel). I have got great surround sound effects more than half of the time. However, for a few movies I played, the sound effects would suddenly become 2-channell in the middle of the movie, either completely out of the front or the rear speakers. The other tow speaker would just have static sound or some faint sound. If I pause WinDVD, two things would happen:

1. It becomes 4 channel again.

2. The sound switch to the other two speakers.

I tried pausing WinDVD when this happened and played MP3 with Media Player, all 4 speakers seemed to play equally. A3D tests, as well as WinDVD's 4-speaker test worked fine as well. Therefore I think the spearkers and soundcard are fine; there must be something about WinDVD or the combination of the three.

I would appreciate if anyone can help.
