Window drive audio link to Windows Media Player
Just refreshed to new PC. Used to be able to listen to audio clips using a window of audio player (like Barnes and Noble). But with the new PC, I get a msg "you need Windows Media Player. Which is already installed. When I "Launch standalone player" WMP will launch and play the music most of the time. How to bind upward WMP in the Audio Player window as before?
Hello jebe1133,
· You try to play Audio content of online sites?
When you try to play content online on Web sites, it will automatically launch Media Player.
I tried to run the test of the barnesandnoble.com, I see that launching a plug-in to play Audio files, it doesn't have to be manually linked to Media player.
Try also to set Media Player as default player for Internet Explorer:
1. open Internet Explorer, click options.
2. the tab programs, click on the tab Internet programs.
3. you will get an option to choose Media Player, click Media Player and as a default value.
Thank you

I burned an audio cd with windows media player, it works on my computer but not on a cd player (I tried several players). Any ideas what I could do wrong?
Original title: Windows Media Player
Hello
Please check the format to which the disk was burned. If the drive is made to a data disc format, several readers of cd or dvd will not be able to read its contents. In order for a disc in a cd player, it must be created in a format supporting by the player, which varies according to different manufacturers.

Windows Media Player cannot play audio files
Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, this is my baby, and all of a sudden I can't play sounds! When I click to play a song in windows media player, it says:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly.
I tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm rubbish with computers, I do not understand this at all, I followed all the ways suggested by the section 'aid' in my computer and I can't always listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going crazy here!
Yes my friend. The computer world is really not easy to understand, and sometimes I wish that I could no longer live the island of computer.
but you know, the development never stop.OK, now your problem; have you checked the Device Manager?
You don't see any yellow exclamation next to the sound card?I think that you should first try reinstalling the audio driver. Of course, it s a very tips but especially it works essentially ;)
