• No sound in 3g 2 files, error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  When I clikc on help, I am led to a page with links on THIS forum.

  Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?

• OS Sierra: Cannot play audio via bluetooth are involved during airtime

  Has been able to do before the OS Sierra update. Now if I switch to my bluetooth receiver in the system prefs-> sound-> menu "exit" it disconnects completely airplay. This happens both with mirroring and use as a separate display.

  Is there something that I am missing on the behavior of this feature? Or is this a bug in the new OS?

• Windows Media Player cannot play audio files

  Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, this is my baby, and all of a sudden I can't play sounds! When I click to play a song in windows media player, it says:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly.

  I tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm rubbish with computers, I do not understand this at all, I followed all the ways suggested by the section 'aid' in my computer and I can't always listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going crazy here!

  Yes my friend. The computer world is really not easy to understand, and sometimes I wish that I could no longer live the island of computer.
  but you know, the development never stop.

  OK, now your problem; have you checked the Device Manager?
  You don't see any yellow exclamation next to the sound card?

  I think that you should first try reinstalling the audio driver. Of course, it s a very tips but especially it works essentially ;)

• Satellite L505-10J - cannot play more than 30-60 min

  Hello

  I just bought the Toshiba L505-10 days last week and I'm really satisfied with my choice, but when I run a game like Counter Strike Source or Risen I have some strange problems. The first 30 to 60 Minutes are Ok, but then the sound starts cracking and my mouse stops (Razer Lachesis) shifts when I hold a key on the keyboard (for example, W to go forward). When I go to my office while playing this problem disappeared (I opened Notepad down W and moved the mouse. No problem at all). When I switch back is there once again. The only solution to this problem is to restart my computer. Then I can play the next 30-60 minutes before it starts all over.

  I have already reinstalled Windows 7, but the problem is still there.
  When I use my Touchpad instead of my mouse is the same thing. Cannot play more than 30-60 min...

  This is not acceptable, because I want to play games on my cell phone at any time.

  Hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany.

  Hello

  As I understand it, this problem occurs only playing games.
  There is no problem to use the laptop with another application.
  Is this good?

  Hmm how about graphic card driver update and BIOS update?
  If more recent versions are available then it would be desirable to update!

  Check it!

• Error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file' when try to play wav or midi files.

  Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

  Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

  Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

  I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

• Internet Explorer will not play sound with no explanation that I can find. Help

  I am running Windows 7 with I think it's Internet Explorer 8.

  I had my IE under Mixer volume muted during last week and discovered he won't play no sound now when I disabled the program. For all purposes, the volume mixer shows that it play a sound. All my other programs play sound, system sounds are correct, just like the games.

  After reviewing the responses to other messages here, that's what I tried without success.

  Volume mixer IE is not set to mute, nor is another program.

  Checked under the tools/advanced/multimedia, and ensured that the audio check box was selected: it is.

  I run cmd.exe under administrator rights and put in the sfc/scannow

  This can 100% complete and it 'not found any breach of integrity.

  I tried to run IE with no Add-ons - however, I could not find a program that would make it sound.

  My antivirus has completed a quick scan with no self-esteem.

  I'm still running my antivirus as a full sweep, however, I'm hesitant... to wait until it yeilds it is result.

  Help?

  Hello

  Method 1:

  Maybe you don't have the right plugins/addons installed to play sounds. Need of plugins for interactive media include generally:

  (a) Adobe Flash.

  b)      Java.

  To install these plugins, open Internet Explorer and visit the links above. Follow the instructions on the pages listed. After installing these plugins and restart Internet Explorer and check to see if you hear the sound?

  Method 2:

  I suggest you update the audio drivers on the manufacturer's Web site see the link below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/automatically-get-recommended-drivers-and-updates-for-your-hardware

  Method 3: Also suggest that you click on the link below to reset Internet Explorer settings and check if the problem still persists. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737

  Warning: resetting the Internet Explorer settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered.

  Hope this helps,
