Can not play music in media center 2004 on Satellite P15-S470

Hello

Last weekend, I upgraded Windows XP Media Center SP1 to SP2 (because MS no longer supports it) on laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 to my father. Tonight, I found that his Media Center 2004 refuses to read audio CDs audio error: "To play music in media center, install Windows Media Player 9 or a repair."

After a long search on the Internet (e.g., newsgroups and forums), I found this a known issue since the release of SP2 in 2004. He worked before SP2 and other music players (for example, Windows Media Player (WMP) v10 and iTunes v6.x) have no problem. I tried to use Registry MCE 2004 provided by Toshiba and HP fixes (just for fun) and restart, but they did not help.

Is there anything else to try next to the clean installation of SP2 and the BONE with its software? I was about to update WMP to v11, but I discovered that it does not work in MCE 2004. :(

Thank you in advance. :)

Hello

You have this problem its just at the point where you use WMC to listen to the music CD or also with other players?

Is there any problem, indicated in the device (sound card) Manager?

  • Can not play videos in Media Center

    Does anyone know how to play movies in Media Center, they work in Media Player, but when I go to the Media Center, he said that one or more codecs required to play this video are missing. I have the K-lite mega codec pack, but obviously that doesn't seem to be enough.
    any help will be greatly appreciated

  • Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

    Question for Microsoft Support;
    I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

    If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

    (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

    Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

    If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

    If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 (starting from Windows 7) my CD drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50L) does not work properly. I can play the audio files located on the hard disk or over the internet, but I can't play a music CD. Eject the DVD from the context menu fails ("" an error occurred..; ' ").

  • Can not play music

    Why can't I play my own music without using the Internet?

    Most likely because the music is not actually on your iPad.

    If you have enabled iTunes game or iCloud music library music is in the cloud. You can choose to download on the device or on the iPad, or via the iTunes syncing.

    I take pictures with my phone for work, I have 5 years. I used to be able to listen to music while doing so, now with 6 s/iOS 9 + I can't. It may seem silly to some, but it literally prevents my day. Whenever a new iOS update comes through that I cross my fingers and hope that this will be one but not. So frustrating.

  • Can not play my music Via Bluetooth on my system Audio of Nissan Navara Outlaw (2015)

    Hello

    I have connected my Nissan Navara Outlaw (2015) and my iPhone 6 sec more (iOS 9.3.4) via bluetooth. The phone works ok via bluetooth, but audio (although it shows that the bluetooth audio is connected) does not work. I can't play music via bluetooth. I can, however, connect iPhone via USB and it works properly; I can play my music via the USB port.

    Someone has had the same problem, if so, how it was fixed?

    Greetings, Leonce2!

    From my understanding, your iPhone more 6s on iOS 9.3.4 connects to your Nissan via bluetooth, but it will not play sounds. Because this is not how it is supposed to work, I'll be happy to help you.

    Help to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your car radio - Here are a few useful steps to ensure that your iPhone and stereo are completely matched. If your iPhone/car played stereo audio via bluetooth before, you can also contact your dealer to see if there are updates of software of bluetooth stereo for your Nissan.

    Take care and thank you for using communities of support from Apple!
