Audio problems - Bellyfit Element original DVDs

I purchased the Bellyfit original series from Mary some months back during a great sale. I only opened up the kit yesterday.

I worked out to Bellyfit Earth first and was dismayed that Alice's voice/cuing is indiscernible behind the music. I could do the workout, but missed all the cues.

Has anyone with this set had the same problem? In the other discs the music is still louder than Alice but you can hear her if you "squeeze your ears."

I think Alta had said she had issues with "Earth" also. I will have to check mine. I use that one the least.

I did have sound issues with several of the DVDs. I can barely hear the cues. I got a replacement set from Mary and it had the same issues.

I REALLY need to hear the cueing, so I rarely do these. She gives her moves "creative" names that are hard to remember (and, to be honest, Alice doesn't cue that well).

It's too bad because the music is great, but it drowns out her voice.

Oh no! I also bought during Mary's previous sale, but haven't tried them yet. I guess it's too late for a replacement.

I found my old post about the sound problems with the set. It looks like "Water" was one of the worst ones. I was bummed because the was the only one I could follow.

I've played hundreds of other DVDs in my player that don't have that problem.

, your set might be fine.

Crud, what a bummer. Before getting the set I only had the original Earth and that one plays great.

I listened to the Elements clips for downloads on the Bellyfit site and they all play great - but I want DVDs!

Alta that is particularly why one needs to hear her - due to the creative names for the moves. Drat.

Pat- my dvds from the set sound fine. Ipre-ordered them when they were first released. I wonder if different batches either had issues or not.

I wrote to Bellyfit after posting this, and by the time I got home from work had a response from Rowan at Bellyfit Support Team. Very understanding - and a new Earth DVD is on the way to me.

This made me a happy Bellyfit camper.

Thanks Alta, but to be on the safe side, I guess I better play all of mine this weekend just to see if there are issues. Were there sound issues throughout, at certain parts, or were the sound issues evident immediately?

Pat & Bubbles, how is the audio on your Bellyfit DVDs?

I wonder if the audio is better on the downloads?
