Media Player will not play sound on DVD.
When you try to play a DVD in Windows Media Center 11 or media player, the video starts, but there is a loud cracking sound with no sound of music. This Media Center has played the DVD in the past.
My system is: Vista Home Premium
NVIDIA GeForce 8500
Hauppauge Win TV HVR-1600
Realteck HD audio
ViXS Pure TV - U 48BO
I checked these devices using HP Hardware Diagnostic tools and they work. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. Also updated all the drivers.
Reading this forum, I tried to delete the file from library: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Medial Player
So far, nothing has solved the problem. Neither thought I solved the problem by updating the Realtek audio driver, but he's back to do the same thing. The only change on my computer has been automatically updated from Microsoft. Is it possible, there is a cause of conflict by an update?
Are there still more recent versions of the driver at HP (even if not on your specific system page) or
site of the manufacturer of the real device? Try installing the latest driver and BIOS and all the
latest drivers and a mastery of the software (if any).
Check these issues with HP support and forums.

My windows media player will not play a DVD
My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3). Download a free version of media player to play the DVD? Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so. Thank you!
First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP. Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only. The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere). Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software). There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray). VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry. You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

Windows Media Player will not play a. MOV file
I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?
Guess why? [ :-) ]
Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013). He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files. ;-)
It is perhaps a better place to read up on this:

Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message
Hello! Recently, when I tried to read a file .mp4 on Windows Media Player, the player would immediately stop working and tell me that he could not play this type of file, even if the day before he could do so without any problem. I had an option to close the program or click to more information, so when I clicked for more information, he gave me this:Signature of the problem:Problem event name: BEXApplication name: wmplayer.exeApplication version: 12.0.7601.17514Application timestamp: 4ce7a485Fault Module name: StackHash_0a9eFault Module Version: 0.0.0.0Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000Exception offset: 00000000Exception code: c0000005Exception data: 00000008OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1Locale ID: 1033Additional information 1: 0a9eMore information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789Additional information 3: 0a9eAdditional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?Here are my system specs:Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bitIntel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPUASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAMDiamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video cardAnd all my programs are installed on this:SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State DriveI'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update andhide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.BarbMVP - Windows/entertainment and connected homePlease mark as answer if that answers your questionI tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.
Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!
I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.
You can show it to your friend...
What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the reply.
You might face this problem because of the flash drive corruption, that's why I suggest to uninstall and reinstall once and check. You can uninstall the Flash player using uninstaller from the link below.
