No sound when playing movies through Media Center

I can watch TV, play movies through third-party software and the sound is great.  I go through a system of 5:1 and all speakers work.  However, when I try to play a movie in the film library of the Media Center, I don't hear sounds in the background, no track of voice!

What gives?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Nwburbs2,

    Since you get sound while playing music from Internet Explorer and playing discs, you can check in Windows media player if the sound is muted.

    If you use the Windows media player 11, then you can see the change of Libraryfor following sound settings in Windows Media Player.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  • Can not play videos in Media Center

    Does anyone know how to play movies in Media Center, they work in Media Player, but when I go to the Media Center, he said that one or more codecs required to play this video are missing. I have the K-lite mega codec pack, but obviously that doesn't seem to be enough.
    any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi KhalilOmarshah,

    You can take a look at the answer in the following thread.  This person was having the same problem as you and was able to resolve it using a different codec pack.  This may be able to help too.  Please let us know if you have any other questions, or if this does not solve your problem.  Thank you.

  • why I have no sound when playing DVD using the media. ?

    I have an image of good quality but no sound at all when playing DVD using Media Player, but when I play the music is very well please help.

    Hello Jogly22,

    Thank you for posting.  This can happen if the Audio track of the DVD is on anything other than what your computer uses.  We will try to change the audio track of the DVD.  You can do this in Media player by clicking on the DVD button at the bottom near the play button.  In the context menu, you should see audio, from there, you should be able to select different audio tracks.

    DVD audio is determined by the configuration of the selected in Set Up Your speakers are involved, the type of audio connection that you use to connect your computer to your speakers or stereo receiver and audio settings of the DVD in Windows Media Center. For more information on the configuration of the speakers in Windows Media Center.  Also, the availability of audio digital is based on the options that are enabled by the audio hardware that is installed on your computer. For more information about the features of your audio hardware, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

  • Why the Finder plays a sound when I move a file?

    I noticed that in versions of Mac OS X, from Lion (I have no experience with older versions) that Finder makes a sound when you move or duplicate a file. It is not located in /System/Library/Sounds or anywhere inside of the /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component . Does anyone know where is the audio file or how to disable (or possibly both)?

    System Preferences > Sound > sound effects:

    You can turn off the Alert sound, or uncheck: play the effects of its user interface.

  • 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.

  • Can not play music in media center 2004 on Satellite P15-S470

    Hello

    Last weekend, I upgraded Windows XP Media Center SP1 to SP2 (because MS no longer supports it) on laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 to my father. Tonight, I found that his Media Center 2004 refuses to read audio CDs audio error: "To play music in media center, install Windows Media Player 9 or a repair."

    After a long search on the Internet (e.g., newsgroups and forums), I found this a known issue since the release of SP2 in 2004. He worked before SP2 and other music players (for example, Windows Media Player (WMP) v10 and iTunes v6.x) have no problem. I tried to use Registry MCE 2004 provided by Toshiba and HP fixes (just for fun) and restart, but they did not help.

    Is there anything else to try next to the clean installation of SP2 and the BONE with its software? I was about to update WMP to v11, but I discovered that it does not work in MCE 2004. :(

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Hello

    You have this problem its just at the point where you use WMC to listen to the music CD or also with other players?

    Is there any problem, indicated in the device (sound card) Manager?

    I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue. If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software
