Problem One: DVD Audio.
I'm trying to play DVDs in my new Macbook Pro in Windows XP. The problem I have is that the audio is very scrambled/laggy--no trouble with the video. I have every codec available to mankind, and there's no problem with the optical drive itself. DVDs work just fine in Mac OS, but I don't want to reboot my machine just to watch movies, and I never really intend on using OS X unless it is for such troubleshooting issues.
I've come across other threads on the internet via Google, which described a similar problem and an issue with IDE Channel 2, but the settings were already as they are supposed to be for that fix.
----------------------------------
Problem Two: Internal Bluetooth
The description of this one is simple. I try pairing my Plantronics 590A headset with the internal Bluetooth device in XP. It pairs, but does not display any services. Essentially, I get a connection but can do nothing with it.
----------------------------------
I'm aware that the whole XP on Macintosh thing is still in Beta and as such, unsupported by Apple and bound to be full of bugs that won't be easily fixed quite yet, but any help from someone who knows their way around the Macbook Pro's hardware, especially with regards to Windows XP would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Anyone who plays BF2 on the Macbook Pro in XP with the F-keys on default... [fn] + [Volume down] keys immediately after loading into a map gives you a blue screen.
