"Sound does not play well and seems to be cut in videos with windows media player 11
original title: Windows Vista
Windows media player 11, I have a problem with the sound. background noises seem ok. the main sounds a mute. You can hear the main people you can hear the background. Please help me solve this problem.
Hello
Here are a few steps to try:
No sound
If Windows Media Player seems to work fine, but you cannot hear the audio, you will have a problem with your speakers or sound card. Check all audio connections if you are using external speakers and to ensure that sound levels are defined correctly and not cut. Use Device Manager to make sure that your sound card works correctly and is selected as the audio device by default.
No reading
A file that simply will not play could be related to DRM - Digital Rights Management - which means that the file is protected by copyright and you do not have permission to read the file. You may need to visit a Web site to purchase a license to play the media. Some files are compressed and require a set-top box, known as a codec, installed on your computer. You can identify the codec required of the file name extension, such as. WAV or. MP3. Once again, you will need to download the appropriate codec so that Windows Media Player can decode the multimedia file.
Verification of the sound settings
Click on Start , then Control Panel
Select the material and audio and noise
Under playback.. What icons you see?
Click Properties and then click headset/speakers
According to the levels... is at 100% and not CUT?
Under Advanced... What is the default format?
Click test... do you get a sound?
Reinstallation of Windows Media Player
In the control panel...
Go to "turn on or off Windows features.
* Disable features Media: Windows Media Player
* Reset
* Provide characteristic Media: Windows Media Player
hope this helps

The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?
If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
import into Movie Maker.There are many programs that can do conversions...

I am trying to sync my ipod with my windows media player and when I connect my ipod windows media play is not read. How can I sync my ipod with windows media player?
Hello
Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.I hope this helps.

AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7
My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.
Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with. You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

I get a black screen when I play videos in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.
Until recently, all worked well for a long time. Now when you try to watch live TV or a DVD, I get a black screen with sound in Windows Media Center and trying to watch a DVD in Windows Media Player I also get a black screen with sound. The controls are there and functioning normally. DVDs are normally visible in the K-Lite Media Player Classic.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, a tuner TV of SiliconDust HD Homerun networked and a videocard ATI Radeon 4550. I have all the latest updates.
I found and tried many recommendations of the Internet for problems like this, and none helped.
The video card driver is the latest provided by ATI to Microsoft for Windows Update and is dated from 19/04/2011. I tried to install the latest Catalyst software and driver from the ATI site, which does nothing to help, and then uninstalled. These drivers provide no option to adjust the hardware acceleration.
I had an older version of K-Lite codec package installed. The problem does not change if I have the old version, the last 32 + 64 bit version or no version installed.
In Control Panel, I tried to disable Windows 7 media, reset their reactivation components and reboot again. There is nothing.
I had an older version of installed package from Cyberlink. The problem remains the same if I have the old version, the version the most recent or any installed.
I tried to uninstall all Apple software: QuickTime, iTunes, etc. There is nothing to help.
I tried to create a new user account; same problem there.
I have VMware and a virtual machine that is running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. In this machine, I can view DVD normally with Windows Media Player, using the same physical DVD drive. I don't have Media Center set up in this machine.
Title photo: original No. in Media Center and Media Player
The problem is now resolved. I removed the software installed probably because the problem started, and Cisco Webex, which I did not need, was probably the culprit, although I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks to those who have tried to help.
