• Error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file' when try to play wav or midi files.

  Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

  Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

  Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

  I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

  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.

• No sound in 3g 2 files, error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  When I clikc on help, I am led to a page with links on THIS forum.

  So here I am.

  Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?

  Hello

  1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
  2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
  3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.
