Re: No sound in WMP 10 & 11 for MPEG




Yeah, uninstalling them doesn't usually fix up the thrashing they do to your
system. Half the time they just unregister actually good components.
Again, incredibly nasty stuff. No professional would (should?) ever advise
you to install that kind of garbage.

MPEG decoders aren't listed there. I think you can figure this kind of
thing out in GraphEdt.exe , but it's difficult and nasty.

Hi zachd

I did have a codec pack installed at one point but that was uninstalled
awhile ago (before I installed WMP 11). I checked to see if there were any
extra codes listed under Sound, video and game controllers in Device
manager
but could only see the following:

Audio Codes:

imaadp32.acm
msadp32.acm
msg711.acm
msgsm32.acm
tssoft32.acm
msg723.acm
Windows Media Audio Codec
Sipro Lab Telecom Audio Codec
Indeo audio software
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec
Microsoft PCM Converter

I am not sure which ones are supplied as standard on a system and which
ones
are extra. Any ideas?

There are also entries for the following but I couldn't see anything there
that might be causing this problem.

AVerMedia Hybrid H/W MPEG Card, M115 (DVBT/NTSC/PAL/SECAM)
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Realtek High Definition Audio
Video Codecs

I also checked for any .ax files in windows/system folder and couldn't
find
any there either.

Thanks for the response and for the link to your very useful website. Any
other help or suggestions would be greatfully received.

Cheers

Jason

What third party MPEG/MPEG2/DVD decoders/players/utilities do you have
installed? Those usually stomp on WMP's decoder.

Hi all

Ever since I upgraded to WMP 10 and now WMP 11 there has been no sound
when
playing MPEG files (MPEG-1 Layer 2 to be precise). Other file types
play
audio (thus not simply mute enabled) and the MPEG files play in Media
Classic
and quicktime (thus no problem with the files themselves).

Gspot says that the MPEG-1 Layer 2 codec is installed correctly so I am
at
a
loss. Anyone else have this problem or know of how I can get Microsoft
to
check this out or how I can downgrade to WMP 9?

Cheers for your help.

Jason
