marceta-
1. Have you tried entirely uninstalling the current drivers for the card and reinstalling drivers from scratch? Your currently-installed drivers may be corrupt. Download the most recent drivers for the sound card and use those if possible.
2. Just a thought, but is it possible that some other running programs/processes are interfering with the playback process? Due to its higher quality (higher bitrate and sample rate), DVD audio playback can be a bit more taxing on your system than CD audio playback. Shut down as many non-critical programs and background processes as possible and see if that makes a difference; your playback software might just need a bit more "breathing room" in terms of system resources.
3. Last but not least, unfortunately: your DVD drive could be failing.
I have 512mb ddr pc3200 ram, and still have tried closing most processes! Also " current drivers for the card" if you mean gfx card drivers then yes (i got the new nvidia ones yesterday!)! 
Bummer- I hope it's not a hardware problem, but you seem to have covered all the software angles that I can think of...

Putting my "engineering" hat on, consider this:
Windows makes extensive use of CODECS (coders/decoders), as mentioned by DMR above, to support the variety of multimedia applications available. For example, video capture requires numerous codecs to encode the audio and video streams being passed to the PC. As another example, audio playback requires one codec for each type of audio format. In many cases, you may find more than one copy of the same codec on the same system. This can easily happen as various multimedia applications are installed and removed. When there is more than one instance of the same codec, conflicts may result that impair the performance of your multimedia applications.
Whenever you encounter trouble with audio recording, playback, capture and so on, always check for duplicate codecs under your Multimedia icon:
1- Click Start, highlight Settings, and then select Control Panel.
2- Double-click the Multimedia icon, and then select the Devices tab.
3- Expand the Audio Compression Codecs entry and look for duplicate entries.
4- If you see duplicate entries, check the Properties for each instance and then remove the OLDER instance.
5- Apply your changes and reboot the system if necessary.
6- You can check for duplicate codecs under the other entries as well.
If this doesn't bear any fruit for you, I'm with caperjack and it may be time to get a new DVD drive.

It's worth looking in to before yanking the physical drive...
