It has to be in how the codec installation linked the windows media players to the codecs and or other settings that the installer changed.Ĭontrol Panel > Sounds > Speakers > Properties > Enhancements > disable It cannot be something on my computer that is not codec related, because the system does not single out programs in that way. Checked all of that before and it seems that you do not understand that only windows media player 32 and 64 bit programs are not producing sound. Also, my windows media service is working just fine. Windows media player worked fine before I installed the latest codec pack and not there is no sound coming from it, and only windows media player has been affected.

Not to be rude, but I am a computer tech and programmer and have been for 38 years, of course I checked those items. I have also clicked on the icon and all of the levels are the same. The wmp volume level is the same level as the master level, and both levels work with other players as well as the mute button. I have changed the volume level on the wmp and there is no response. and none of them make a sound in windows media player. I have tried several media formats including MP3, WAV, WMA, etc. You should be able to see the volume of each individual active application. Have you also tried audio files, such as MP3? It doesn't show any errors and is just silent? Are you able to change the volume level and click on the mute button?Ĭlick on the Windows volume icon in the right bottom corner of the screen.
