• Windows Media Player-audio tracks overlap during playback

  Behavior of strage in WMP from the application of SP1 Win7

  Since the Windows 7 (32 bit premium) with SP1 upgrade, Windows MediaPlayer exposes a stange problem.  With WMP set to auto-repeat during playback, I double click an MP3 file from Windows Explorer.  WMP is launched and the MP3 starts playing.  Seconds from the end of the track, it seems that the track starts again, but then only the first instance of the track is still playing.  It's looks like I'm the same way playing on another media player and from reading about the second, just before the first finishes (so the end of the path of departure of caterpillars are bunk with each other).  Funny is when the trial ends, playback will be stopped all together, WMP that outputs a brief explosion of noise, and then the track starts again from the beginning.  If the track repeats once again, it does not repeat this behavior.  He manages at the end and restart normally. Did not have this before SP1 was applied.  I have a Sony VAIO VGNFZ21S's fully patched.  Thought you would like to know...

  Thanks for the tips.  Unfortunately, it did not apply to my laptop (no improvement is tab ' sounds / Speakers').

  Inspired by your advice however, I started to turn on & off Audio enhancements directly in WMP.  It seems that the fade function is causing my problem.  More I put it, the more noticeable the overlap between the beginning and the end of the track.  Turn off Cross Fade, solved the problem.

  As I said, this behavior has not happened before I applied the SP1, then maybe something related to WMP has been included with SP1 that revealed the problem.

  Once again, thank you for the reply.

• 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?

• Why my Windows 7 crash/freeze during playback of ANY video

  lets see someone can get their head around it because it's driving me around the bend.

  Then... I have a media Center PC connected to my TV high definition VGA cable. I ran the XP PC for a long time, but last December, I've upgraded to Windows 7 with my laptop.

  Mark 5 months of use of seamless media and integration of network - it worked like a dream and I played HD and SD content with ease.

  About two weeks ago, I was watching a HD ".mkv" file in Windows Media Center and Gardner ten minutes in the video, the video just file - both video and audio. I had to turn off and restart the machine and started again the video file. Five minutes after the restart the video file, it hung again (not in the same place in the video). Then, I went and watched the video on my laptop , where it worked fine.

  A few days after that (first time I had used it again since he hung up), I started to look at a folder ".avi" of sustainable development. About 1 minute in the video the screen lost its signal (come the little built in the chart 'no signal') and after 15 seconds following the audio cut out as well.

  This latter behavior that happens now whenever I try to watch any kind of video SD or HD of any file extension. This problem is also independent of what player I use (windows media Center) and windows media player classic after a minute or if the display turns off and audio quickly follows.

  Suffice it to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a little about good the computers that I decided to try to solve the problem by taking the following measures.

  (1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt that it is a problem of compatibility here. After doing this the problem persist, exactly the same as before.

  (2) I checked the date of drivers for my card (nVidia MSI 6200) and saw that they were dated from September 2009. I went to the site of nVidia and found the latest drivers win7 dated April 2010 - I have installed these but the problem is still there.

  (3) I thought, maybe it's a problem with the hardware of videocard real itself. When I built my machine, the parts supplier accidentally sent me two of the same video card so I swapped the existing for a version brand new brand of the same card. The problem is always EXACTLY the same.

  So yes - I am quite annoyed and frustrated right now because I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how she went from work not work almost from one day to the next.

  I would add also that the screen is perfect when you are doing something else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listening to music etc, and it's absolutely no problem.

  Put on a video, and it cancels to display, as I explained.

  WHY?

  halp.

• Windows Media Player 12 - no video, audio playback only

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (clean install) and will have issues playing any media in Media Player 12, which includes the video. For example, when I look in the library, I see the "Wildlife in HD" file (this is a .wmv) that is installed on my system. When I play the file, it starts without error but I can't hear the audio file, there is no image at all. If I play this file in Media Center, it plays perfectly. I have the same thing happen with the Landscapes.wtv file that the cam installed on my system. He plays in Media Center perfectly but I can't hear the Audio in Media Player.

  I tried to remove and reinstall (using Add/Remove windows components) without modification. I clicked these types of files and used the default program choose and set Media Player, also no change. Right now the Media Player is only a music player. However, there is no problem to play .mp3 .wav. ect.

  For now, I use VLC to play these file types, but it's annoying to have a $300 more operating system and for it to be so horribly broken.

  If you can give advice or solutions, I'm all ears.

  I have a possible solution, if you are running an NVIDIA GPU. I found that in the "Video color settings" Panel I had deselect the option use the NVIDIA control panel color settings. Media Player and Media Center work very well for me now. I don't know if it has made all the difference, or have had an impact, but I'm also using Spyder3 on my machine, for photo work.

• Windows media player won't recognize dvd playback or record

  My Media Player will not play it plays the cd and burn cd dvd if I try windows Director, acknowledges that the dvd drive is there but it will not record or play videos

  The reader has already worked? If it used to work OK but suddenly failed, then there's a chance (the DVD part of) the drive has failed. You could try a CD/DVD cleaner lens to see if that helps.

  It may be interesting to try this fixit MS - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/ and run the built-in utility to see if they find and fix anything.

  I guess that its listed as 'work' and showing no problem in the device (on the Panel) Manager?, but its worth checking.

  It may also be useful to check on the support site for the PC see if there are updates made support for the PC and player. These can sometimes help.

  • I tried a lot of things already that is disable all non-Microsoft services, and that did not help.
  • Refresh the PC while keeping the files and settings and who also did not help.
  • Tried sfc/scannow, which did not help
  • Virus search

  Hello

  I don't know any list of the differences between starting and Normal. I think you can try to disable Microsoft Services in MSConfig, but it's just a guess.

  There is a box to check in MSConfig to create a log, but I know nothing about it, or where it would be stored.

  If everything worked at some point, there must be an update of a certain type involved...

• Win Media player flicker problem of video playback in Win 8

  When I use XVID as my encoder with programs like CAMSTUDIO screenshots, on a machine with Win XP or Win 7 x 64, the video return correctly from Win media player or VLC.
   

  However, when I perform the same operations on my laptop Win 8, I am twinkle video during playback with Win Media player but VLC rereads flicker.

  I think that something is altered in WIn 8.  There is no problem with reading in a virtual machine VMware 8 Win.

  I tried to go to Windows features to reset Win media Player, no change in the results.

  Hi Ron,

  I apologize for the late response.

  What is the brand and model of the computer?

  I suggest that you download from the website of the manufacturer of the computer display driver and install it in the computer.

  If the display driver for Windows 8 is not released by the manufacturer, and then install the latest version of the driver in compatibility mode and check.

  Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Why media player does not freeze when I fast forward a video?

  When I play the video on my laptop and I use windows media player.  When I try quickly toward the front of the screen freezes.  If I try to use another program to open the video such as DivX Plus Player I can see, rewind and fast forward without problem.

  This is quite annoying since one program, I can't use and another that I can.  How can I solve this problem with WMP?  Oh, and I've already updated to the latest version WMP.

  Make sure you have installed the latest graphics driver.

  Download and install the codecs from here: -.
