Audio player through Windows media player when playing music on a DVD or hard drive.

Original title: WMP. Ignores the audio files on my computer.

Windows Media Player.  Whenever reading a dvd or music on my hard drive, he jumps on a regular basis.

Hi nanageek,

1. what version of media player do you use?

2. when the problem started?

3. This occurs when you try to play a file in particular?

4. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

This problem may be related to the sound card.

The audio driver should be updated. Check to see if an updated driver is available for your computer.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  • Cannot read the CD in the CD/DVD drive after having burned the audio files in Windows Media Player

    I burned an audio cd with windows media player, it works on my computer but not on a cd player (I tried several players). Any ideas what I could do wrong?

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    Hello

    Please check the format to which the disk was burned. If the drive is made to a data disc format, several readers of cd or dvd will not be able to read its contents. In order for a disc in a cd player, it must be created in a format supporting by the player, which varies according to different manufacturers.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD.

    Original title: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

    I was troubleshooting video playback issues throughout the morning after the reconstruction of a machine with a fresh install of W7 Ultimate, shot a few questions there.

    The first and foremost reason I couldn't play THE VIDEOS was due to the ATI Rage video card that was in the machine, proved that this card was not compatible for playback of DVD video on W7.  No problem with the system of video files (.avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc.), only reading DVD.  Disabling this card and media player running with a standard VGA device allowed me to play regular DVD movies very well.

    Another question, I stumbled on was with burned copies of the DVD, it turned out that my system DVD players, (2, one is a HP630E and the other is a typical ATAPI DVD DD internal 8 x 16), have a problem with playing movies engraved on DVD - RW discs.  Playing discs DVD-R worked well on this system.

    So in your case I try to disable the video device and let the system first use a VGA Standard, if your video plays well then check with the making of video for a updated driver device, saying "you have made any changes" does not mean that the system did not have a bad patch somewhere...

  • Windows Media won't play a DVD

    How com windows media won't play a dvd, even with a decoder, I added this morning?

    I'm having the same problem. My computer has Windows XP Professional Office. Media Player 11 is on it. But when I try to play a DVD, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer" is not Media Player got it own decoder? I don't want to download some other decoder from another provider that I don't know. I got Windows Media Player on every computer I've ever owned and have never had problem reading DVD or something else. What is the problem and how to fix it? My computer has a DVD driver... and yet I can't watch DVDs... makes no sense...

    And yes the DVD play on other computers and DVD player to the TV. Not a scratch above. Nothing wrong with the DVD. ANY DVD will not play the computer, with the fact that I have a problem...
    And Yes, I am talking about Windows Media Player.

    =================================================

    A DVD decoder is not included with Windows XP...
    so, we need to be acquired and installed from a third
    the party source. If your system has one when it was new...
    It would have been included in your OEM software
    package... maybe you always for her installation disk.

    The site has a few suggestions:

    FWIW... the free VLC Media Player can play DVDs
    and you shouldn't have any additional codecs.

  • Windows Media Center to play my tv on my Xbox.

    My windows media center quit playing record tv on my xbox 360. I have two xbox and two of them would play my recorded very good tv. Then one day all of a sudden I get an error message when I try to play my recorded shows that says that it is impossible to find the necessary files, but on my computer I can watch them very well. And it's only my recorded tv because I can watch other videos through my xbox very well.

    Hi LonnieAdams,

    1. have you tried to change the location where files are stored?

    If the location is changed, you can try to change the previous location where files are stored and check if it helps.
