The sound drivers are missing. The comp says "Windows media player cannot play this file because there is no audio device found" . I installed Realtek. Now the sound seems to play, but no sound is heard.

    Can you try to open the Device Manager, and check if you have any driver missing? If not, try opening the "Volume Control" and check for possible "mute" checkboxes.

Hi.

- Make sure the speakers are not on MUTE by the operation system.

- Make sure the speakers are connected to the correct jack (Line out). In 99% it's the green one.

- Increase the volume on the speaker unit.

- Check weather the audio driver is installed correctly: Go to Device Manager and look under the Sound, Video and Game Controllers. If you see a yellow exclamation mark or any yellow question mark - you need to reinstall the audio device driver. Go to the motherboard's manufacturer site a check if you indeed have a Realtek sound card. In any way, download the driver provided there. Write your motherboard model, if you need me to provide more accurate info...

- If it's a video file that you're playing, it might be a problem of missing/wrong codec(s). Uninstall any installed codecs (to avoid conflicts), restart and install K-Lite Codec Pack.

Good luck,
Pelu.

My window media player not play no sounds
You need to download co-decs for your media player and you can fix it.
Go to codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm ">http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm and click on "Download K-Lite Codec Pack." When you are taken to the download page, select "K-Lite Codec Pack 5.5.4 FULL" and download the associated file. 2 Install the Codec pack to your local hard drive. Make sure to select "full installation." You may be prompted to restart your computer when the installation is complete. 3 Run your normal media player; attempt to play the video file suffering from missing sound. If the Codec pack installed correctly and you are using a supported media player, the sound should now function properly.
Thanks. Have a great day.

Go to Filehippo.com and download and istall K-Lite Codec Pack 5.90 (Full) it should beef up your windows media player to accommodate most codec's.

If that doesn't do the job, again from filehippo, download and install VLC Media Player.

Both programmes are freeware.

Microsoft Windows Media Player is a free media player software that comes with the personal computer version of Windows operating systems. The software supports basic file formats such as WMV, WMA, AVI, MP3, and ASF. The player included in Windows XP gives you the power to create your own CDs, search and organize digital media on your PC, and copy files to portable devices such as CDs and pen drives.
Fix Windows Media Player Problems
Corrupted and missing DLLs files, incorrect registry entries, and outdated files are some of the causes of Windows Media Player errors. Covered here are a few steps that you can take to fix common problems.
C00D11CD: Unknown Error
C00D11CD errors occur when an operating system component or some other program encounters an error and does not communicate it to Windows Media Player. Due to its generic nature and multiple reasons for occurrence, there is no specific solution to this problem.
If you encounter the error when trying to play an AVI or MPEG 2 file, then most likely, you do not have the correct codec version installed on your system. To fix a Windows Media Player problem related to codec, search for the required codec on the Internet, download it, and update it on your system to play the required file.
Windows Media Player uses Digital Rights Management (DRM) to authorize copying files to a CD or to download them from an online music store. If you do not have DRM authority to copy a particular song, you will not be able to play it and the error will pop up.
Windows Media Player uses the wmadmoe.dll file to encode files. If something goes wrong with this file, you may get the c00d11cd error when you try to copy songs from a CD to your hard disk. To fix a Windows Media Player problem in this situation, you must register the DLL file by running the command ‘regsvr32 wmadmoe.dll’.
80040155: Interface Not Registered
If this error occurs when you try to burn songs into a CD, then the most probable cause is that the required player files are no longer registered on your system. To fix this error, try to reinstall your Windows Media Player or download and install a newer version of the player, if available on the internet.
800C2EE2: Action timed out
This error occurs when your Windows Media Player is unable to connect to a server due to problem in the network, and therefore cannot play protected audio/video files that you download from an online music store. Incorrect Internet Explorer security settings might be the cause of this problem. To fix this, open Internet Explorer and select Tools-Internet Options-LAN Settings. Next, clear the Automatically detect settings check box.
C00D0FAA: Cannot rip the files
The error usually occurs when you try to rip CDs to MP3 format. Existence of entries from an earlier player version in the registry might be the reason behind this problem. One way to fix this problem is by adjusting the audio quality. However, if you want to maintain the audio quality, then to fix this Windows Media Player problem, open the Registry Editor by running the Regedit command and navigate to the subkey given below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Sett ings\MP3Encoding
Here, open ‘LowrateSample’ and delete the value displayed in the Value Data box. Select OK and exit Registry Editor.
Many times errors also occur when there are corrupt files on the system or there are invalid DLL entries and other related incorrect entries in the system registry. For this, you must try to download reliable registry cleaner software from the Internet and scan your registry for invalid entries. Using registry cleaner software, you can easily and efficiently fix Windows registry problems, and make your PC free from irritating errors.
Errors can occur in Windows Media Player due to outdated files, missing or corrupt DLL files and incorrect registry entries. Most of the time, you can fix Windows Media Player problems by updating missing files or by upgrading the player to a later version. Additionally, to prevent registry-related problems, you can use a registry cleaner software to regularly scan the registry and eliminate invalid DLL entries and corrupt values from it.

Choppy music playback...
Your pc is infected with viruses and tehre were already some missing files with your Operating System and needs to be reformatted. Refer it to qualified technician...

if you have the installation soiftware CD's (which come with your PC when you bought it) you can do it, just follow the step by step prompt on the windows screen.
the chronological steps should be:
1. install the OS
2. install the motherboard drivers (VGA, sound, LAN, USB, atc)
3. install modem drivers.

NOTE: make sure to back up your files before doing all those things...

Good Luck...
