I have no sound in Windows Media Player, ver. 7.1. Haven't for a long time
but thought I would try and fix it.
Sometimes it just plays the video without sound without getting an error
message. Sometimes it will pop-up the error message: "Can't playback the
audio stream. No audio hardware is available or the hardware is not
responding" and will not even play the video.
Have downloaded and reinstalled WMP. No good.
Have read and tried all the KB stuff.
Under Multimedia, Audio, what is in the box is 'VIA Audio (WAVE)'. When
going to Advanced Properties to reset the acceleration, Apply, OK, it appears
to work but after going back to check it, it is back at Full Accel. It won't
hold it at Min.
The other option in the box is 'Use any available device'. Have tried doing
that but still no sound in WMP.
I can't see how this can be a sound card/hardware problem as WimAmp plays
..wmv, .avi, .mpeg files just fine with sound, as does Quicktime with .mov. CD
music plays fine.
Any ideas?
