Listen up, folks. The following procedure fixed the problem of Error
"0xC00D1199: Cannot play the file" and Error # "80040154" for me:
I downloaded GSpot v. 2.21, installed, and ran it. I opened up a sample .wav
file from my local hard drive. I clicked "Render" which came up with an error
and it obviously couldn't render the file. The info in GSpot told me that the
audio in .wav, .mid, ,mpg, and .avi files was regular old PCM audio, which
doesn't need a Co/Dec. Hmmm OK, so I looked in the Control Panel -> Sounds and
Multimedia on the Devices tab to see if PCM Audio was there, and it was as
"Microsoft PCM Convertor". Alright, it's installed but broken. I said, well,
let me try reinstalling DirectX and see if that helps. When I went to the MS
Download Center, I saw that there was a new version of DirectX, 9.0c so I
downloaded and installed it. The system rebooted, and now WMP9 plays .wav and
.mid files and the video AND sound of the .avi files off the Internet or on the
hard drive just fine. I haven't tested .mpg files yet though. Hopefully that's
fixed as well. I opened GSpot again and reopened the same .wav file, clicked
"Render", and this time it succeeded. Here is the part that was broken on my
system..."Audio Path: (S) --> Wave Parser --> (R)". So, the Wave Parcer audio
decoder somehow broke.
Solution: Reinstall or update your DirectX install.
Later Gator
