That forum was very helpful. I had the same problem as described by the first
poster there. I installed All in 1 6.0.3.0 and finally after 2 months of
going crazy trying resolve this problem it's fixed.

Hmm, mono might indeed be the culprit. I've made few experiments and
noticed that:

.. Record something with standard Sound Recorder and save as mono WAV -
WMP cannot play the file. The slider doesn't move. If you click
stop and then again play, WMP pops up an error message saysing that
"The enumerator has become invalid"

Clicking on the Web Help options shows a page that says:

You've encountered error message 80040203 while using Windows
Media Player. Additional information is not currently
available for this error.

Saving the same recording as a stereo WAV and WMP can play the file
just fine.


.. Mono mp3 files play at twice the speed.


> Strangely, dropping back to version 10 does not solve for others

I have never installed WMP11. I think WMP tried to "update" to 11
once, but I've cancelled it ~immediately. I don't think it managed to
install anything in the few seconds it ran.

Now, this is totally weird. I've performed some seamingly meaningless
dead-chicken dances and suddenly WMP10 plays mono again (mono mp3s
play at normal speed and i can finally watch Deutsche Welle streams) !!!

Relevant dead-chicken pas might include:

.. Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Hardware tab -> Audio
Codecs item -> Properties button -> Properties tab

then go through the list and click Properties button for each, if
Settings button is active on the dialog, click it too. Don't
actually change anything in any dialog, just click through.

.. Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Voice tab -> Test
hardware ... -> follow the wizard

I also messed with WMP Tools -> Options -> Devices -> Speakers (as was
advised somewhere in this or some other similar thread) - to no
effect. I tried that before a few times with no effect as well. It
was and now again is set to its default value of Default DirectSound
Device. I don't think it's pertinent, but I think it should be
mentioned as one of the things I touched between mono-not-working and
mono-working states.

I also messed with the SoundMAX control panel applet (part of the
driver that came with the hardware (asus pundit-r barebones on-board
sound, ad1888 based)). Again, nothing I didn't try before, and
nothing that I think might be pertient.

I had exactly the same problem - NOW RESOLVED !

I had WMP 11 - I uninstalled that via Control Panel / Add/Remove
Programs and Windows rolled back to WMP 10 but still no audio with the
streaming video - even from a Microsoft site !

As suggested above I went into Media Player / Tools / Options /
Devices ( wait for the devices to load and appear in the window ) /
Speakers / Properties.

The "Sound Playback - Audio Device to use" was was set to "Default
Direct Sound Device".
I changed this by clicking the drop down arrow and selected the actual
sound card installed in my PC - listed as "DirectSound: SoundMAX
Digital Audio", then clicked Apply.

This instantly cured the problem - hope it does for you :-)

thegov,

Thank you so much for your 'crazy' fix. I had had this problem for half a year, I think caused by downloading some other codec pack. I looked on and off for a solution to the problem, but yours worked and I genuinely appreciate the help.

Others suffering the same problem of Windows Media Player with no volume, give this a try!

Best Regards,

already had similar packs installed and reinstalled before).
It didn't exactly install cleanly (some files it couldn't modify)
But after reboot -- sound is back -- crazy!
Maybe the uninstalls / installs just flipped the order of the codecs or
something....
Any ideas?

I haven't thoroughly checked if all this has screwed something else up. I'll
see how long it lasts.

(If I was really brave, I'd try installing WMP11 again!! -- I think not!!)
Thx
