Fluctuation of Volume for Media Player

I came at the end of my intelligence with volume of Media Player fluctuating from top down during playback.  It is a long-standing problem plaguing my systems since the days XP and persists through Vista and now seven.  I have built at least 5 personal pieces I remember the problem arise, which have completely different hardware configurations and speaker configurations.  ECS, Asus, Abit cards mothers, processors AMD and Intel, Harman-Kardon, Boston Acoustics and Altec-Lansing speakers, stereo systems, 5.1 and 7.1...

When playing music or video from a file, the wah-wahs of volume up and down throughout the song and ONLY using WMP.  iTunes, Winamp and online streaming are all perfect.  Equalization of the volume does not help, in fact I can't even switch to silent mode does not help.  I have installed ANY additional codecs, I got in trouble with those in the past, so I stay away from 3rd party codec packs.  Please help me, it's a royal pain to keep the selection of alternative music players at the opening of the mp3 or video files, and I prefer Media Player for alternatives.

Thank you!

Hi Lottoman,

Method 1

To disable improvements audio speaker

(a) Sound open by clicking theStart button, and then clickPanel. In the search box, type sound, and then clicksound.

(b) on the playback tab, click speakers, and then click Properties.

(c) click the enhancements tab, and then select the checkbox disable all improvements .

If you do not see the tab improvements in the speakers Properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.

Method 2

If the previous step fails then try the step below and check out them.

(a) go to the sound icon in the system tray, bar right click, clicksound

(b) click the Communications tab. On this one, you will see:

Windows can automatically adjust the volume of the different sounds when you use your PC to place or receive calls.

When Windows detects the activity of communication:

1. cut all the other sounds o reduce the volume of other sounds of 80%

2 reduce the volume of other sounds by 50%

3. do nothing

(c) select 'do nothing', so try and check if it works.

I hope this helps!

    I tried to follow the instructions of Firefox to download the plugin for Windows Media Player. Say the instructions to save the file on my desk when you are prompted to save. However, when you are prompted, after clicking on 'save', a blank pop-up window appears with the title of "downloads" at the top. Then a small article appears and disappears from the bottom of the screen that says the download was successful. There is no option to save it to the desktop.

    The Windows Media Player plugin is not displayed under tools and modules, so I guess it was never installed. Explorer always uses very well. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

    donpatchi,
    For Windows Media Player, it has settings to verify updates of the separate drive of the Windows Update service.  If you open WMP, click Tools > Options > Player tab, you can change the frequency of when checking updates.  Also if you click help there is an option to check for updates.  So if ever you see an update for WMP and you don't know if it is authentic, you can always start the process to search for updates yourself.

    If Windows update is set to automatic, then you should see a notification for these updates come from the notification bar (the area of the taskbar near the clock).  As with WMP, if you ever have a question or a question about an update, you can start Windows Update yourself and watch the updates that are currently available prior to installation.

  • Upgrade the component of security for Media Player does not work; Help!

    I'm trying to download audio books using Overdrive, and I did everything to try to get the Media Player security upgrade to work. Each time, I get the response "the component cannot be upgraded", but absolutely no explanation.

    I have tried both the Web site and the Overdrive toolbar (I get no response at all from the toolbar Overdrive.)

    I tried to re - appoint the DRM folder. I tried to empty the cache memory on the DRM folder and delete everything in the folder.

    I tried to install a new version of media player.

    I tried to re - working the msconfig startup (following instructions I found on another forum)

    I tried to remove my firewall to allow the website to work.

    I added the site of drmlicense as a trusted site.

    I'm at my wit's end.

    Help, please!

    I solved this problem! (at least for me). I had actually given up on the problem.  Last night, I went through a complicated process to replace WMP 12 with WMP 11 (made it harder to think I have a 64 bit system, but has managed to hack WMP 11 to work as a result of another forum).  When I got the same error, I said that was enough and abandoned.

    BUT... today, I took my laptop to work and thought, I would try once more... :)

    IE open in administrator mode, went to the site, clicked the button and low and here this worked 1st try! My zune software works!

    I don't know what is the key factor, but try to take your computer (if all goes well, it's a laptop) to another router/modem/hotspot.

    At home, I chose 'rental house' in dialogue of connection, and at work, I chose "work/Office.  Not sure if this is important.  Good luck to all!
