Sudden WMP sound stoppage |
|
|
I've used WMP for a while and not had any problems, however recently I've had
the message "This file may not play correectly because it was compressed by
using a codec that is not supported" appear everytime I try to play a file,
EVEN with files that used to play before. The picture appears but the sound
does not. It's not muted either. I checked which codecs were used and I know
that they are supported, and I've tried removing and reinstalling WMP several
times with no result, including dumping the .plist. I should stress again
that this happens with files that played correctly before.
What can I do?

I have "exactly" the same problem. It happened to me yesterday. Even the
sample files that come with the player don't play sound anymore. I've tried
everything and nothing works! Anyone know what to do? |

It's me again. Start up Garage Band, and then try again. It worked
perfectly for me. I got this fix in another post. Very weird. I wish the
so many websites didn't use windows media, because this program is crap, just
like Windows XP.

Hey Mike!
That's true! You just fixed my problem, and guess what ? Not only
Windows Media Player, but I has the same AUDIO problem on RealOne!!
Thanks a LOT!

Incredible. It worked for me too.
Windows Media Player 9 on my new iMac running OSX 10.2.4 gave the
following message: "This file may not play correctly because it was
compressed by using a codec that is not supported" and I had no audio
but these files worked perfectly on my other macs running OSX 10.3.9.
After starting up Garageband 2 for the first time all is well.
Thanks mike20. |

Sorry for the mistake, it's OSX 10.4.2 naturally.
Too bad VLC doesn't play wmv files. |
