• My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

  I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

  As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

  Hi rgosmond,

  (a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?

  (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

  (c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.

  Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.

  Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

  1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

  2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

  3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

  4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.

  5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

  6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.

  7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.

  8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.

  Now, check if the problem is resolved.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

  Original title: microsoft should spend there windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead.

  Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

  The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

  That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.

• Windows Media Player will not burn my files!

I add what I want in the colum burn and then I click on button (start burning) and try to start burning but 10 seconds later, it ejects my blank CD songs and pop of the screen upward to say that...

If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver.)   Please help me and understand what to do!    Thank you

  Hey Tashina_Jean,

  Here are a few things to try:

  1. make sure that the disc is clean.

  2. Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner (recorder).

  3. try a different brand of blank discs.

  4. stop all other programs that are running.

  5 disable any programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

  6. defragment your hard drive.

  Links: what please refer:

  To reduce the burn speed:

  Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

• I have Windows XP Home Edition w/service pack 3. Windows Media Player will play CD but won't play DVD. What I can do. I am a beginner on the computer.

  I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  You can buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  * Do not know why you dislike VLC... most users find it excellent *.

  VLC Media Player

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• Windows Media Player cannot see the music files, but Realplayer works perfectly - what is happening?

  I am under w7 pro on a laptop, after the death of my desktop pc. After transferring my music files, I found that wmp is not working properly, although realplayer works perfectly. I prefer wmp, but it simply doesn't. The symptoms are:
  1. it shows all media in the library even if the music library is full of music when seen with explore.
  2. If I select a file in Explorer, it will play in wmp and is added to the library, but no other files cannot be added.
  2. library management does not work because after pressing 'manage libraries', then 'music', nothing else appears.
  3. There is no sheet set for extraction of the files (just a white in the location box) and 'change' has no effect.
  I tried the troubleshooting fix, which simply says that my mediaplayer library is corrupt, but nothing else.
  I also tried to remove appsdata/microsoft/mediaplayer files and even entire directory after checking the tips from microsoft on the net for another user. WMP is
  supposed to automatically rebuild the library and start again, but she just starts with a library empty unless any of the symptoms above are fixed.
  I understand that wmp cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled, if anyone has any suggestions for my next step? As I said, the music library itself should be fine as Realplayer works very well.
  KC (just another lost soul)
  Possum ergo there is
