Re: Sound Problem

Perhaps he is not clicking on the Play button on that small display of audio
control. It doesn't play automatically there. And when I play it the music
is very tinny and cuts out. It appears to be a streaming audio that is
feeding too slow. And I, also, do not have Media Player come up during
play. It seems to be a poorly constructed web page. I have that same
boogiewoogie Andrews Sisters song on my computer as an MP3 and it plays just
fine.

Hi:

I have a friend who has a Dell desktop and he cannot play .wav files for
some reason. Here is the website that has a .wav file that he cannot play:
http://www.minibite.com/oldies/boogiewoogie.htm. I am assuming the sound
file applicable this website is a .wav file. When you click on this
website
it automatically plays sound without launching Windows Media Player. All
.mp3 files and also individual selected .wav files played launch Windows
Media Player when they are played. I really do not know why when you click
on this website and the song is played that it does not launch Media
Player.

In addition, I had him test other .wav files, none of which could he get
sound. He has Windows Media Player and it is default for all File Types. I
have checked this and all files are checked, including .wav files. He can
get sound on all other sound files except .wav files. Also I checked IE
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced> and under Multimedia he as it checked to
"play sound in web pages".

I spent about an hour with him last night checking and rechecking his
settings, but still no sound from .wav files. If anyone has any
suggestions
about what his problem might be, I would be most appreciative if you would
share them with me.

Thanks
