Low Audio when using Windows Media Center
Hello world. I have a question. When I play a movie DVD or CD or anything audio Windows Media Center on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition. The Audio output is always half of what it is in other programs.
For example. When I play music with windows media player, I let my volume of the speaker to about 2.5. If I play a DVD movie on my computer, I put the volume on the speakers until about 5 # in order to hear the movie. Then when I return to windows media player volume is very strong (of course because I turned it upward).
I checked all the audio properties (on the PC under windows), but I can't seem to get the audio level as well as the rest of the Windows Media Center computer?
No one knows what it wrong here?
Thank you
Hi karozans,
Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com
Make sure the appropriate selections are made in the DVD settings and codecs are correct for the file that is being read...
This is a lot of information on Windows Media Center, and the second link is information about the codecs.
http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/codec.mspx
There are many different CODECS out there and search online, using your favorite search engine like www.live.com to "VISTA CODEC PACKS" can find the codec that you need to improve the sound on the videos that are currently playing. When the right codec also be determine some codec download from a reliable source as the codecs are not created by Microsoft and can be obtained by a third party.
Please let us know if there is more need information on this issue, or if you do not download the correct codec for the system and the problem persists, please post this information in the forum as well.
Once again, thank you for answers.microsoft.com display

When you use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 DVD have not given chapter.
After finally finding many questions I have my Xbox Media Extender and running upward and only this question left.
I'm ripping my DVD to single file .vob she seems to like and plays very well, but it is only with the file movie and nothing else in the record. How the XBOX sees it, the bed and he plays very well. However I have no control outside the break and if I restart it takes over the job.
Now if I rip my DVD with the .bup .ifo files in this folder the XBOX instantly he shoots in the list of the DVD and it will not play.
When I use Windows Media Center on my PC it preforms even when the film is in the folder. Then when I add bup and ifo data I can still play, but he has all data in the chapter that I need. Shows all the chapters, allows me to jump as I please.
How can I get my XBOX to behave like my PC? I have to remove these 4 files in/out of the folder to see pop in and out of my list of XBOX. How can I get the XBOX to validate data, so my movies actually have chapters and ignore the controls?
Thank you
Chris
Hello, wilsman00
As mentioned, by changing the VOB files, the data in the chapter are probably damaged. This can be confirmed by putting in a retail DVD in the drive and play directly from the DVD.

Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open
Media Center will not sync music!
I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing. Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.
As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.
Thank you

How to select the output device HDMI as audio playback for Windows Media Center device
Output audio media center units
Hello
I'm trying to set up my media center from windows to windows media center of output through a separate audio device audio device by default.
In this case, I have hdmi output that I want to be the output for windows media center and my realtek analog to be the default for all the rest.
So my overall question is how I make windows media center requires is not the default audio device.
Thank you
Andrew
Method 1 is useless. Does that change the audio device by default in the system, what the user seeks specifically not to do.
Method 2 has no effect at all on Media Center.The answer seems to be no, Media Center only works with the audio output device by default. -

2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
3 restart the computer once the analysis is complete.
4. check if the problem persists.For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833Step 2: If the problem persists, perform the system restore to a date where the media player was working fine
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
4. click on finish.I hope this helps.Kind regards

Can you help me run SP2 on my computer?
Hi again. Question: what would these updates have been? If you don't remember, open Windows Update, click on "see the installed updates" and more recently installed report with updates.
As I already said (maybe bad), Windows Update not immediately offers you Service Pack 1. There are quite a few Windows updates that must be installed before WU will offer you the service pack.
There is also some (including some audio drivers Realtek) drivers that are known to cause problems with the installation of SP1; Therefore, WU do offer you the update until these drivers are updated.Here is an MS article explaining why (and bugs):
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343/en-usI would like to repeat that the three updates, I mentioned in my first post are prerequisites for SP1. Theyneed to be installed first and in the order displayed.
Again, check your Windows Update history for these three KB numbers. If you don't see one or several of them installed, you can find with a quick Google search. ;)Kind regards

If you use the system restore to go back to the point before anything has been installed - it solves the problem?

Your audio device is still installed? Is there a version of driver, you can "roll back" to now?
How to use the Roll Back Driver feature in Windows XPIt is possible that you have accepted an update of the Microsoft device driver and you even had a newer driver and software installed before. Microsoft certainly did not or that they take over your audio device - so you should check with the manufacturer of your device manually HiFi/audio to make sure that you have the latest software and drivers available for your OS (XP) given.

"Access denied" message when using Windows Media Player on my windows based computers.
Put all my music on an external hard drive. Meticulously organized all the metadata on my Windows XP PC WMP (version 11) and my window 7 PC WMP (version 12). Now, I get an "access denied" message for my music folder on my XP machine. The new WMP restricted me to access this folder on all, but my Windows 7 box? I take my external hard drive from room to room (study, gameroom,...) so I can listen to my music wherever I go in my house. Should what changes I make to allow me to listen to my music on my different computers?
Make sure that the group Everyone has read at least the permissions on all the objects on the disc. Set the permissions on the root folder and then use inheritance to propagate permissions to all items on the disc. See here for the typical instructions: http://windows-xp-full.net/Que-Special.Edition.Using.Micr1/0789732807/ch28lev1sec8.html

Blue screen error 0x0000007F When using Windows Media Player
original title: need help w/video
my hp Pavilion a1240n crashed to the point that I had to replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp, then go to 7. After 2 1/2 weeks of the trial, I am still unable to play a dvd, or get a video game to play. If anyone can help me, chk the specifications of what I have and give me some options on what I can try. The last time I tried WMP, I received a stop message 0x0000007f blue screen. Help!
A few quick to test things:
Test your memory with a memory tester. Something like http://www.memtest.org/ perhaps, or an equivalent.
Update your graphics card and sound card drivers to the latest W7 drivers available at HP for your PC.
As test, download and install (free) VLC. Can do this reading of videos? In a first time, as this is just a test, do not let 'take over' as a default player until / unless you're happy with it. Just manually open a video with her.
If you look in
what is your WEI score and the base system in detail, i.e. amount of version W7 ram, CPU, and what is your GPU card? Basic details of 7F - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137539
