original title: I have no sound...

I have an error code 80040256 when trying to use Media player.

A window pops up that says that "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 might is not working properly.

I went under the devices and system tools and it tells me that there is no audio device. Please advise & assist. thanx DJL

Download and install the device drivers for some audi device / sound (hardware) is installed on your computer.

Not knowing what brand specific & model computer and/or what brand specific & model device audio, high fidelity, you have, at this stage I can't better direct you to exactly what you need - but you should be able to review the specifications of your computer on the web site of builders/drivers/support download and get what you need.
