Hi, I have already seem two other people with the same problem here in the forums, but both their problems seemed to be sorted by the answers they got...I tried both the solutions and neither of them worked!:mad:
So, here it is: Windows media player 10 has no sound. Doesn't matter which type of files I play, there is video ecc, but never any audio. I have tried the solutions suggested by others (unchecking the nero plug-in and changing the options regarding which device I use (marking it as the Default Device), checking that none of the volume "mute" buttons are highlighted, but still no luck. All my other media software works fine (winamp, nero showtime..).
I am running Win XP.
I was wondering whether it might be a codec problem....but that's way beyond my knowledge, so anyone out there got an idea of how to tackle this?
I have also, BTW, uninstalled and re-installed WMP but again, no luck.
I look forward to hearing from you all!
