Player Media Player 11 Vista won't play wav files

For the years Media Player plays our .wav files sent by our voice mail system.
My new Vista 32 bit Home Premium with Media Player 11, with the latest downloaded updates
and installed refuses to read wav files, put a red X next to them, says a hardware problem.

Of course, audits of outdoor and sound material is perfect.

By the way: new brand on the box, laptop not 48 hours.

Can anyone confirm that Media Player 11 plays indeed from .wav files?
Can anyone confirm that they had this problem?

It seems that Media PLayer 10 does not work on Vista and my only option may
bring back the new computer.

    Hello

    1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
    2 have you installed third-party readers part?
    3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

    Step 2:

    Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

    4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

    The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

  • Windows Media Player for Vista, does not play my avi files and says he has a codec error?

    Came across this problem trying to put an AVI in powerpoint presentation for the school. I don't know how this happened or how to fix the error. The error indicates that windows media player is not the right codec to play the video. However, when I sent it myself and opend it upwards on another computer, which doesn't have powerpoint, it plays very well.

    I did some research as to what a codec for windows media player, that's what code and decodes the video compression. However, when I tried to download the appropriate codec file, there is nothing. Not even useful workaround solutions.

    In addition, went and downloaded quicktime and it could not read the video either.

    Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated. Thank you!

    Hi DaisyReaper,

    Are you able to play .avi files?

    You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player. Subsequently, check if you are able to read .avi files.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

    Thank you

    Paresh

    Hello Paresh,

    The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

    Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.
