• The Windows media player 11 no sound during playback of the songs in the library

  Windows Media Player 11 is no longer being on any sound, but only when I try to play a song in the library, but it is sound when I play a CD or play a video clip with the player, so the speakers & sound card are ok. The track is played physically because the small bar at the bottom of the player moves from left to right and the timer starts counting from zero until the end of the track. I am able to hear the songs in my library if I open it with VLC Media Player. I had no problem in the past, then one day there was no sound... Any suggestions?

• Windows Media Player and a 5.1 Surround sound

  I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 660 and I use the speaker system, I had with my old computer - a set of very good quality Sony 5.1 Surround Sound speakers.

  I tested the speakers under sound settings - all speakers are appearing in the work. I also played music using Nero media player and Media Player Classic - everything works fine.

  However, whenever I try to play music in Windows Media Player - the only sound from two speakers?

  I'm confused here - I know that the speakers work, as evidenced by the sound test and the fact that they work with other media players, then why they won't work with Windows Media Player. Have you tried a few "fix - its" Microsoft - nothing has worked so far.

  I use Windows 7 (even on my old computer - incidentally where the media player worked well) and equipped with K-Lite codec pack.

  Anyone has any ideas - I use Windows Media Player the most and have all my songs stored there, so it's going to be a real pain if I can't use it and it's my favorite player, but it's just annoying and frustrating.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  Try this.

  -Go to the control panel
  -Find the icon of speakers
  -On the devices tab of reading, find your set of speakers and click Properties
  -Click on the enhancements tab
  -Check the box "Speaker Fill".
  -Click OK.

• Music in Spotify, iTunes and Windows Media Player

  Well, I tried to use my programs of music on my computer for about a week and a half now, and that they won't play all my music. Not at all.  I went to support these programs, but they did not really help. I also checked to see if any of them were incompatible with my computer, which iTunes was the only one, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version 64-bit for Windows 8 and still nothing.

  I don't know if it's the sound of my computer, which I don't think it is, because it works for everything else except these three programs. And I have no idea why, and frankly, it's getting boring. I also checked my device manager and my sound system and everything is working properly.

  Anyone who can help and give me some answers on this as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!

• Close programs to prevent the loss of information. Your computer is low on memory. You save files and close programs. Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  Hello

  I keep getting the following error message, and leterally having my computer off over and over again, even if I added 1 GB of RAM (now 3 total RAM) mor and also added a 8 GB SD card as more power:

  Close programs to prevent the loss of information.  Your computer is low on memory.  You save files and close programs.  Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  I did research on the various search engines to know that many face the same problem, with a variety of possible solutions, but so far, none work.  We suggest that I go to Regedit and change the permissions of the user and then delete the old files, after I import them.

  Needless to say, I am just a user and have just a bit of technical knowledge.  The local PC repair shop in my town has no idea what to do.  For anyone who has a solution to this problem, help will be greatly appreciated!

  First of all, unless you know EXACTLY what you do and WHY you do it. I personally recommend never do anything in regedit. I consider myself a moderate to advanced computer user and a moderate user of windows. And I always stay away from regedit, if I can, because you can seriously screw things if you don't know what you're doing... Although, to be honest most of the settings will not have a devastating drama.

  It seems to me that this is a memory leak in the program, you will get this error message to make sure that your computer will just crash, because if she is running out of RAM... Well it will crash.

  If you have a 2 and a 1 GB for a total of 3 GB, I recommend the upgrade once more and just round up to a nice 4 (this is the most of memory a 32-bit system can handle in total)

  Works of memory in a way that you see really only a few performance jump with memory dual channel, the only way to have that is really striking the rods of same in each slot.

  There isn't really a reason that this happens every time, except that simply your computer is low on MEMORY, when your computer says this means RAM, not disk memory storage area.

  If you clean your computer of the programs you never use and stop using windows media player (itunes is better in my opinion, even if you don't have an ipod), you can see an improvement, but to really isolate the problem, I recommend simply opening your task manager as soon as you start your computer (ctrl + alt + delete usually gives you the option or it opens directly) otherwise you can do start-> RUN taskmgr.exe , OR type taskmgr.exe in the search box and press on enter.

  Then, look at the column of memory as I said it sounds like a program has a leak, and you will see that is because memory will begin at low/normal and then numbers just keep climbing...

  Also, make sure that your computer recognizes all 3 GB or RAM. in Task Manager if you have access to the performance tab, under physical memory must be a thing called Total, 3 GB = 3074. If this is not an option in your reason, you can go under Accessories/System Tools system information (on the start menu). (may take a while to load) but on the home page, you should see something that indicates the amount of TOTAL PHYSICAL MEMORY. You want to read this / 3GB or 3074 MB.

  Hope this helps some!

  I recommend to remove all programs, you are ready to, especially those that you never use. Do a complete uninstall. Then start installing windows clean (download google) just to make sure that the program has been removed. then go start--> run msconfig OR just type msconfig in the search and click on go (I don't know if you're running XP or Vista/7)

  In the msconfig dialog, you should see a section that says startup. Don't forget to remove programs that you do not first. Disable startup programs, you use every DAY. Don't go turn off all if windows needs some process to run, and some processes don't effect anything. But if you're curious, you should be able to google all of startup items and see what it's related to and why you do or that you don't need.

  Good luck! Sorry, I'm everywhere with this response.

• Windows Media Player sound only during video playback

  Windows Media Player won't PLAY VIDEO (MOVIES); ONLY SOUND CAN BE HEARD.

  Can someone please?  I go crazy - my windows media player will not play anything except the sound on videos (films are so far the problem).  She claims codecs are updated automatically, I'm too scared to download some unknown codec. I tried everything I know to do and I'm not too bad to understand such things.  I am now at a loss.  What is the problem here? BTW-Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Toshiba laptop.  I think that Media Player 11.

  Volunteer J ~ THANK YOU very MUCH FOR THE REPLY! I WILL RESPECT ALL THE SOLUTIONS YOU HAVE TO OFFER!  From what I can tell, they are my videos (movies) transferred from the cd to the media player.  Videos of "sample" provided pre work ok.  My films all have the extension .avi at the end, that's why I don't understand why they will play only the sound of the film, not the actual Visual part. . AVI should be accompanied by my windows media player.  As I said, I'm pretty decent to deal with such things as a result of working with a lot of "technicians" in recent years; This is why I do not bother anyone here, but I am at a loss for what to do. If it's codecs, I don't want to take the risk to download a bad codec and corrupting my system.  Already checked the updates of Media player, there are not available at this time.  She has also set to automatically download codecs.  Man, it drives me crazy!  ConfusedOne70 aka Michelle

  =====================================
  If you download the following free utility... you can drag.
  an AVI file on it and it will tell you the codec it needs.

  Download GSpot
  http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm
  (left-click the text: "Download GSpot")
  (on the next screen...
  left click: 'Download [GSpot 2.70]')

  You don't have to install it... just unzip and run in left
  by clicking on... GSpot.exe...

• Portege R700 - sound only in Windows Media Player

  I have a R700 with the RealTec sound when you use Windows media player, but not when you try to listen in flash, video, or audio system PC.

  Can anyone help?

  Hi Artrek,

  What it means that the sound card is properly installed and you don t have yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

  Hmm generally with each program, you should be able to listen to audio on flash videos I would try an update of Adobe Flash Player. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of this program.

  The sound settings, you can check the Windows default audio output device. Make sure that the internal speakers are the default settings.
  By the way: If you see this problem with external speakers too?

• Image-but window Media Player no sound when I play a DVD

  When I try to play DVD, there is picture, but no sound in my laptop.  I received a message from windows media player is COOD1163. May be is one to help me with this.

  Moved from feedback

  Original title: Windows media player.

  Hello

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2 - is confined to a specific DVD problem?

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install the video codec and check if the problem persists.

  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.
