Re: unable to open the WAVE Player

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

File types-open with windows media player. When I try to play a wav files in
WMP i get this message " Windows Media Player cannot play the file because
there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device
installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it
might not be functioning properly." I tryed to do a system restore but my
computer will not restore to an earlier date.

I have a gateway desktop running windows XP. I suddenly have no
audio. I ran the Pc dr. and did the audio test and the MIDI and
Internet speaker test produced sound. When I do the WAV test I get
the message "unable to open the WAVE Player". Under "sound" in
device manager I have listed creative SB audigy, unimodem half-Duplex
audio device, audio codecs, legacy audio drivers, media control
devices. All say they are properly working. Any suggestions??

What program did you used to use to play .wav files?

Right-click on any .wav files and select Open With.

What are your choices of programs? What happens when you select each of
them?

You said this problem started suddenly. When exactly did it start? What
did you do (e.g., install a new program or update or run some sort of
scan) right before the problem started?
