 7MC and WMP11 can't play MP3 or WMA files |

  Joined: Sat Dec 23 2006, 08:59AM Posts: 2739 | Hi all, I'm very confused. All of a sudden my 7MC or WMP11 won't play MP3 or WMA files. However it still plays FLAC files no problem. MP3 and WMA files play perfectly on Media Centre Studio. I'm tried various audio decoders with the Media Centre Decoder Utility, all no help. I downloaded and installed the latest codecs (K-Lite codec pack 6.1). Also no chance. Video's are fine in either 2 or 5.1 channel sound, just MP3's and WMA's have a problem. Nothing has changed (that I can put my finger on), I installed no new apps, drivers or windows updates. Just booted up the PC one morning and nothing. Please help, I really am at a loss at to what to do further. I am running Widows 7, with 7MC. Using media browser and various other 7MC apps. Sound card is a Creative X-Fi Xtreme audio and I've never had issues before, I presume this is software related. Anyone have any ideas?  | ||

Please also check that you have the correct codec's installed." Now I know it's not the files as the same files play fine in other media players and FLAC files in the same location play fine in 7MC or WMP11. | ||

Maybe there is a place where codecs are stored (like the "fonts" directory) and those codecs are corrupted. Maybe by uninstalling WMP and installing it again you can fix the problem. But this problem sounds very very strange. Life's a grave, DIG IT Taking SPAM SERIOUSLY Friend of SPAMDAMONIUM.
