No sound on BBC

[throdgrain]

And some other websites. And some videos too. This is since a format 6 months ago, and I still cant find what Im missing

Any ideas chaps ?

Are you playing it through their own websites or using (in BBCs case) a third party player such as Real Player (which is what the BBC use)?

Go to BBC and click on play through Real Player me old mucker and see what happens then?

if you need to download, id really recommend "Real Alternative". its basically all the real player codecs etc, put into media player classic. so you can play Real files without that tonne of shite they like to install with RealPlayer

I think with the BBC it just opens up a little RP thingy that the sound comes through but yeah I agree don't download it if you can help it throdlar.

Another thought : make sure your pop-up stopper isn't blocking the window that would open for the audio.

It does, but you still need Real Player, or Real Alternative installed. However for live shows on the BBC, for those of us in the UK, you should be able to get it to use media player instead.

No its wierd. I used the BBC as an example that everyone knows, but its the same with a few video things. I try to play BBC stuff in real player OR wmp, and it plays but no sound.

Also stuff like this - http://www.lifelibertyetc.com/RangeBag/video/LLE_Mossberg500_Large.wmv

which is very useful to me, wont play sound in wmp, it will only play in something called combined community player which is very old. I want to play it in WMP dagnammit!!

trying something like Gspot. run the file through it, it tells you what codec you need for it, and if you have it installed

 

[throdgrain]

Good idea cheers, however it says its alright Im begining to think I might be deaf

if you aint got the latest version of wmp then download it, you most likely have a codec malfunction (TM)

if you do have the latest version installed then download the codecs for version 6 or 6.5 of wmp. That will fix your issues.

otherwise turn the volume up on your hearing aid.............

I had wmp 11 installed, I went back to #9, then there was sound but far too fast. I then went back to #11, and , no sound ....

ok, its the codecs.....


uninstall 9 and 11 then install 9, then install the codecs for 7.1 or 6.4, you can get the codecs from

Codec Installation Packages for IT Professionals

10 and 11 have newer codecs that break sometimes and windows gets confused.

let me know what happens



if it works just install 11 again ;-)

 

[throdgrain]

Cheers, but theres no download for XP mate.

 

[throdgrain]

OK Ive deleted #11 and then #9, then re-installed #9 and installed the 6.4 package as the other wont install.

Still just plays the same stuff that used to be silent very fast

Uninstall ALL your media players and start from scratch?

 

[Starman]

Do you have more than one soundcard in your system?

Start -> Help -> Sound Troubleshooter

 

[throdgrain]

No and no

Uninstall all codecs. Uninstall drivers for your sound hardware. Reinstall drivers for sound hardware. Install a codec pack (i use K-Lite myself). There is generally a tool for finding buggered codecs, use it. Try again.
