• 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 ;)

• is there a simple guide on how to use Windows Media Player to play MP3 files on a Web site

  I'm designing a simple website to a friend. They are singers and want 3 or 4 songs sample of people to listen to on the site.

  What is the easiest way to do this (I m not technical, it should be easy to understand)

  Idea is that the user accesses the page and chooss a song they click and hear 30-45 seconds of a recorded sample (MP3 file)

  Strive to do that. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find a simple way to do it.

  Can it be done using Windows media player (records are MP3 files in the Player Windows Media.

  If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site.  If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

• How to convert an mp3 file to a file rtext? Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?

  Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?

  You can get on a conversion of 70% in reading a file in Windows Media Player using something like Dragon Naturally Speaking to convert. If you set the playback speed to slow in Windows Media Player to play > play speed, you will get a better result. The best option is to download the file to an audio transcription service, but which generally costs 0, 50-1, 00 per minute of audio.

  Hello

  ·         What is the format of the files that you play when you get this error?

  ·         Do you get what this error during playback of all files or a particular file?

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

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

  2 - 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.

  You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

  a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

  b. download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download the Codecs of the reader.

• 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:

• Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

  I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

  There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
  read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

  And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
  worth a try.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)
  (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

  If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
  WMV format:

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converters are a few examples:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
  http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
  the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
  desktop and install from there.

  Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
  Find and select the clips you want to convert.

  Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
  WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

  Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

  You can experiment with other settings later but
  This should help you get started.

  (2) format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Good luck...

• Windows Media Player cannot play .avi files

  OT: Windows Media Player 12

  I have Media Player 12 and it plays music very well, but I have no sound when I play a video (AVI format). I can play the same video on Quick Time player and I have the sound, then it is not the video file. Any suggestion to fix Media Player 12?

  Hello mikemonte1450,

  1. where did you get the .avi file did you download it or save it?

  2. this happens to you with the particular .avi file or all the avi files?

  3. do you have an error when you try to read the avil files on your computer?

  Windows Media Player supports the format of .avi file and you should be able to play. It seems to me that there is no available codecs to read the file format, you are trying to read. I suggest that you check the type of file you are playing, you should be able to understand this by checking the file extension.

  a. right click on the file and click Properties, under file format, you should be able to find the file type.

  You can check the link for more information on codecs below:
