Frying or audio sound in Windows Media Player (especially for music files)
I think this virus recently, I had on my PC has done major damage to my Windows Media Player files and music. It was working fine this past Saturday, but lately, I experienced technical difficulties with the sound. Music files do not play correctly. The sound is very distorted and scratchy and it sounds almost as if I'm playing music on a tape that has been eaten or warped. Sounds like kind of when you play a portable CD or a cassette player that runs on a low or dead battery. Sounds almost like the files are at a standstill, and then they sound normal, but it is on and off. I can't explain this well because it's really hard to describe. I transferred a lot of my music files on my mp3 player. Even when I play samples of the song on iTunes and Wal-Mart, I get the same problem. I've removed MusicMatch JukeBox on my computer because it prohibits with Media Player.
I would like to get rid of the itching and the distortion on these music files. I don't know what I have to do. I printed a few instructions, but they are 15 pages long and a bit complicated to read sometimes. Do you know what problem I want to talk to? I don't know how it happened, but I bet that Media Player is not fully upgraded. I also tried the upgrade of WMP but that did not help either.
Is there a way to relieve this itching and distortion on Media Player? What exactly is the problem I have?
Sorry the long delay in his response (13/06/12)
No, I have not found a software solution. My problem is "solved" by the hard drive crashing / failing & replacement, re - install etc.
However, I discover, before the crash, when I copied a part of the music on a USB stick and my iPod (led Seattle for THE & back and I wanted music - same 'bad') and was surprised when I plugged the USB on my car stereo - don't pop / does click - no idea why - at least the POPs & clicks were a "warning sign" of the crash of the hard drive.
When I got home was purchased 8 more of USB drives (fits on music 10 hrs each) saved the rest of my music files. Most were commerical and had the CD (somewhere), but some of the music was 'live' recorded at a meeting of extended family, which has turned into a festival of the song of sorts. I was the only one to whom he recorded (after a few changes shared with others). A week later, the HD crashed (prior to installation).
Up to 12 USBs with music (and iPod) now and I'm not playing with CD while driving.
If you have any music, videos, photos, you do not have another copy somewhere... maybe think about making a backup pronto... just in case.
Take care

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

Windows Media Player will not play files .avi or .mpg - Error Message: C00D1199
Windows Media Player won't play .avi or .mpg files; files which I know to be readable by Windows Media Player. In addition, this program has played these accurate files in the month of August. The files are readable on other programs. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I have "lost" the codec in the past two months. Today, spontaneously and erratically, Windows Media Player recognizes the .mpg files, but not the .avi. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
