Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / December 2007Can't hear songs
Hi I hace windows Media 11 and I just replaced it with 10. For some reason and no doubt because I clicked some stupid button- the songs do not play. No error message comes up they just got through the entire song with absolutely no sound. The a song comes up from a cd burnt years ago and that is fine. Why can I not burn somgs to the player and listen to them- please help me I am very desperate. >Hi I hace windows Media 11 and I just replaced it with 10.

Ah yes, WMP10 and it's famously hard to spot Mute button. To the left of the volume slider is a small button. Click that - is there any change now ?

It has been happening for a while- I hoped that upgrading would fix it- any ideas???? > >Hi I hace windows Media 11 and I just replaced it with 10.

There should be a setting under Tools -> Options -> Rip for that, or as a dropdown on the Rip panel itself. That's probably not the issue, but I'm trying to get as many things in as I can. The next thing to check is under the Devices tab of Tools -> Options If you click on the CD drive, choose Properties - is it set to do Analog rip ? It might be that you're ripping Analog (over an audio cable to your sound card) and the sound card's mixer is set to Mute or zero volume. The thing to check there would be in windows Volume Control (usually in the system tray near the clock - the speaker icon) and make sure that Playback for CD isnt' on Mute. That would reproduce your issue (no sound on playback or ripped tracks). If that's it, you'll have to re-rip all those tracks again because there will be no audio data inside the tracks (though zero volume is *still* valid audio data ;-) HTH Cheers - Neil >No it's not the mute button, it is very weird because some songs will play >and others- that were copied after the ones that play, and CD's that are put [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 >> http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs |
