• Windows Media Player playback speed problem - static...

  I play an MP3 to an audio book on WMP file and when I go on it 2 X normal playback speed, suddenly the sound produces a static noise. The audio is always readable, but static electricity is super annoying.

  Do you know what causes this and how to fix it?

  Thank you very much

  Thanks for the tips... I found actually an ideal solution that completely eliminated the problem...

  I previously converted the audio book in MP3 format, and as I said, I had that static when going above 2 X the playback speed.

  Well, what I did to solve the problem is the following:

  I used RealPlayer (which is a 100% free tool) to convert the MP3 to a Windows Media Audio file. Just click convert to button in RealPlayer and change the settings and press convert...

  AND'RE YOU READY TO GO...

  The audio is excellent... zero static... and now I can listen to the audio book of more than 2 X the normal speed in Windows Media Player and do with it in less time that I would otherwise...

  It's a beautiful thing!

  Wanted to leave instructions because other people have noticed that they have had this problem and I am sure that there will be more who need a solution in the future...

  Cool - let me know if you have any questions for those facing the same question...

• How can TV 31RL938 - I find installation key for PC-Windows Media Player

  To watch DVD from PC - Windows Media Center (Windows 8) on my TV (31RL938, without fire related to the internet), I have to do an Extender installation with the Media Center on my PC (the TV symbol is on my PC).
  That's why I have to put in an installation key (8 digits), which should be on my TV / Extender by choosing 'Windows Media Center' here.

  But how can I find it?

  Thanks for the help!

  Gerd

  Have you managed that?

  To my knowledge the two devices; your TV and your PC must be connected to the same network: in my case its home WLan.

  I don t use Media Center, but I made the connection with Windows Media Player.
  Using the Media Player I can listen to the video and music to my TV or stereo receiver...

• Windows Media Player 12 library not to rebuild

  Windows Media Player 12 library issues

  The library settings of WMP on my Win7 x 86 Ult PC appear to have corrupted after clicking on a BSOD just as I recorded a new network folder in music library settings. It was very well until now, but after the restart, will organize > manage libraries > music does not return a screen. Other libraries, such as the image will be open a screen and can be kept, but it seems that the media in these cases does not actually view.

  Restore the system to a point before the BSOD did not fix the issue.

  Running MS FixIt for Windows Media Player has not fixed the problem.

  Running sfc/scannow does not detect any problems.

  Deletion of the library and the settings deleting the folder AppData/Microsoft/Media Player did not help.

  The only possible solution I am aware of what I have not tried is to uninstall/reinstall WMP via Add or remove features - I'm reluctant to do for the simple reason that this step seems also to uninstall Windows Media Center, I receive countless hours over the past four years, get the installer of my _extremely_ preferences - and there are also of the OEM changes (its a VAIO Sony's older) as art of support and background disc changer that I would struggle to restore.

  Have to reinstall Media Center from scratch would be a disaster even greater that losing the music library, which is a fairly large disaster already.

  Someone knows some way to correct this problem _without_ lose all my settings in Media Center?

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  I noticed another possible solution in another thread and it worked - in Explorer to delete the folder music 'Libraries' section, click on the section heading 'Libraries' and select 'Restore default libraries' in the menu.

  I then could open WMP and add my network via the feature folder successfully organize.

• Problems with fluctuating volume of Windows Media Player

  After that I transferred MP3/WAV files to my old laptop which has Vista... for my new laptop which has Windows 7, my windows media player then started acting crazy during playback of music files.  The volume goes up and down, and during parties strong songs, it goes almost silent... with a few songs, it becomes just as hard very quickly and then just cut all together.  I tried tools audio fix from microsoft, and they were unable to help him.  Basically, it sounds like when you listen to music, and you would simply continue to cupping your ears again and again, as you can imagine is really annoying while you try to listen to music

  Try the following steps, presented by another poster, JoeyNice:

  6 steps that have helped me with this problem:

  (After looking at a few ideas from there I went and did my own investigation and arrested next steps the boring windows media player playback sound fluctuations)

  (1.) start the media player and go into menu improvements in media player andreset all default media player improvements and disable all improvements and equalizer, etc...

  (2.) do right click the speaker volume icon (located in the lower right corner of windows in the area of programs/notification bar) then andclick 'sounds' in the right click menu (or if "speaker" icon is not in the notification bar go to control panel and click on 'sounds')

  (3.) in the sounds of communications click menu tab and select 'status quo '.
  
  4.) , while on the sounds tab menu click play, and then click speakers allowing you to then click on properties
  
  5.) in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to improvements and select 'Disable all sound effects'

  6.) while in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to the Advanced tab and "restore default settings" , then click on apply and then OK and then apply and ok again and the sound menu

  These steps allowed me to be able to go to windows media player and listen to music with no fluctations (and you can now be able to turn on the equalizer again if you want to make adjustments, but if this causes the fluctuation back just turn Equalizer back off.) I could turn it back on after you follow the steps above with no fluctuation)

  Let us know if this suggestion helps with your problem of fluctuating volume.

• How to slow down a video AVI in windows media player? Playback speed is greyed out?

  I didn't have a good answer yet...

  The game speed is always grayed out.  Game speed settings do not work, except for the arrow buttons next and previous image.

  There is no scroll bar to drag the speed upwards or downwards.  Unchecking the cursor button does nothing.

  I am using Windows XP Pro, sp3.0.

• Problem with Windows Media Player Audio sync DivX playback in full screen

  Hello

  I have found lately that when playing videos on Windows Media Player divx mode full screen audio is out of sync.  If the video is played in window mode, there is no problem.  I had no such problem in the past, but now for about 1 month or so, I have this problem.

  I have fitted iq508a to vista 64-bit, with the latest drivers delivered HP installed (using the HP update utility)-does anyone else have this same problem too?

  Thanks in advance

  I can't believe! I solved the problem with this problem of video audio sync during playback in full screen!

  While watching the Pineapple Express, I thought WTF I'll take another closer look at this, and while they were smashimg their cell phones so that they could not be found by triangulation, (don't ask - u just I have to watch - stoner movie )...

  in any case, I looked under tools options in WMP.  I unchecked the option on the performance tab "use video smoothing"-the video as reloaded and bingo! everything in harmony!

  BTW, I checked my another PC running Vista 32 bit and the option ' use video smoothing ' also exists and it is checked if this seems to be a problem with WMP works on Vista 64 bit or running desktop Touchsmart of WMP... In case I am much happier now...

• ActiveX: Open a separate window of Windows Media Player 9 and control playback

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to open a video in WMP4 automatically in Labview and control. There is an existing ActiveX container, but it remains on the front panel. I can control its playback, but can not pause and resume.

  I can also open the video in a window outside of LabView through Labview WMP9, but I was not able to control. Simply run it and then watch until it ends. It is the preferred operation, I need to understand.

  LabView version: 8.6

  ActiveX application: Windows Media Player 4

  OS: Windows XP

  My questions are:

  (a) how to pause and resume a video file, if you use the ActiveX with LabView container ensures

  (b) how could I access an instance outside WMP open through LabView playback controls (because I want to automate reading based on acquired signals)

  Note that the ActiveX refnum is WMP4 while the version on XP is WMP9.

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Hasan
