No video is coming, but only sound, when I play in windows Media Player 11, os is xp

No video is coming, but only sound, when I play in windows Media Player 11, os is xp

Hi james_pl1973,
 
-Is this type of specific file to some issue or is it the same with all types of files?
-You get an error message or error code trying to watch the video for files?

It is likely that the codec is correct / encoder is not installed or is installed but has been corrupted by another program.

A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses Windows Media Audio default codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the Windows Media Audio codec to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

Follow the steps listed in the article given below to resolve this issue.

You receive a codec error message or play audio but video does not play when you play media files in Windows Media Player 11

  • unknown problem using WMP 12 no sound when played the song in the folder but has sound when he played in the player

    Hi all

    I have a weird problem using WMP (Windows Media Player v12).  When I double-click a song of in my library, the trail seems to play, but didn't have all the sounds.

    However, if I hover over the same path and then click Preview, the pop-up, the track plays with sound.

    When the track (s) do not play, all indications show the way to correctly play through of progress ' Now Playing ' screen, but no sound.

    In the past, when I clicked on any MP3 file, he would play using WMP.  Now, when I click on an MP3 file, it brings just "Now Playing" and looks LIKE he plays, but no sound.

    I have looked & looked for clues as to why it may be of WMP, but I can't understand the problem.  I also searched the Web for 'day' drivers in the Win System Manager, but Win says that pilots are "up to date".

    I have rebuilt the DB Library (twice) by removing the DB files in from WMP to a procedure in a WMP support forum. I also went to check the audio device in Device Mgr Win (mine is one on one). Everything seemed ok.  I also changed the devices to "Win by default" to what I think my onboard audio device is called.  I thought that that can do, but it's not.

    I was struggling with this since the day of the year.  Please help me solve this problem!

    Hi, Pie,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Appreciate your efforts to try to resolve the problem that you have set so far. I guess that is not a problem with the driver that ultimately, the songs are playable using the media player. It could be a corrupted in Windows Media Player framework that is causing the problem. Let's run the Windows Media Player troubleshooting utility that resets all parameters to the player. Check out the link to do so:

    Hi Maurice.

    1. What do you mean when you say no updated with the latest version for windows xp?

    2. what version of Windows media player is installed on the system?

    3. you receive this error code when updating the media player to a higher version or trying to open the media player?

    Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to iperform the task.

    You can open the administrator and check if you can update or open the media player.

    If the problem persists, try the following steps:
    a. download and run Microsoft fix this article (the same article can be followed when you get access denied error during installation)
    b. Once you have run the hotfix, restart the computer.
    c. install Windows Media Player 11 and check the result.

    Note: Running Microsoft Fix that it the article will reset the registry and the file permissions.
