How do fix no sound on Windows Media Player? There is sound on my computer for You Tube but not WMP.

I have no sound at all on Windows Media Player.  Mute is not on.

Hi Annette Holland,.

·         What version of Windows is installed on your computer?

·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

Method 1: If you are using Windows 7 you can run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player Setting and check if the problem still persists.

Open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

    In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

    May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

    Options: -.

    1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

    2] download and install the codecs

    Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

    The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

    Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

    the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

    because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

    So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

    Have a great day!
