No sound when using Windows Media Player

How can I find out why windows media suddenly no sound? Worked very well, it suddenly stopped.

I have windows media player which works fine as does anything else that requires sound. Windows media center play it's just that I can't hear anything, no matter how I check and adjust volume levels.

Hello

·          The problem occurs with all the files?

·          When the issue started?

·          You play the files from the hard drive or CD/DVD?

Step 1: This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that you Remove/uninstall all third party installed packs Codec, players or saving video programs.

    (b) on the playback tab, click speakers, and then click Properties.

  • 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?

  • Scratchy Audio only when you use Windows media player

    For more than a month now, when I use Windows Media Player 11 to play any audio file, the music sounds saturated and rough. The volume is louder than normal. It is on a 5 year old XP PC, and I haven't added new software or hardware lately.  I can play the same files on the same PC with other readers multimedia (VLC Media Player or Quicktime) and I don't have this problem, and it's okay if I use headphones or speakers. I tried to uninstall WMP11, but WMP10 has the same problem, and when her reinstalled WMP11 still sounds bad. I have also reinstalled the codecs windows audio. Any ideas?

    Check the audio improvements and put them all turned off:
    Begin playing a file and then click the arrow below the now playing tab, point to enhancements, click show improvements and then go through each of the options.

    You can also check and disable plug-ins:

    my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda.  Seemed

    This all started when I upgraded Windows more late service CAP and also installed Real Player.

    Help!

    Hello

    • What version of Windows are you using?

    1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.

    2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
    It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    3. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.

    Method 1:
    Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2:
    You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

    Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

    If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.
