I then upgraded to WMP11 and still the same problem. Then I fixed it: <br /> Put in CD, <br /> open WMP, <br /> click on &quot;Now Playing&quot; on menu bar<img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"><br /> then go down drop down menu and select Play ' Name of Album (D<img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)">', <br /> go to left side of WMP and on bottom of list is &quot;Name of Album Playing&quot;, <br /> Right click this and select properties, Select &quot;Digital&quot;, then OK, play CD - enjoy Sound.<img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> text/html 2008-08-04T10:57:11-05:00 Romy Raju http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/?o=20#542174 YesI had the same problem! <br /> Windows got an idiotic Pictorial representation for MUTE in Windows media player control panel...

I cant believe so many people had this same problem. text/html 2006-06-05T21:35:22-05:00 Michael A. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#419191 <div class="quote">You're auto-censoring a perfectly legitimate non-obscene words like c.ockpit now?</div><br /> <br /> I guess it's because the word c**kpit contains the letters c, o, c, and k.

And no, it wasn't a (LMAO) 'mute' button c**kpit problem (DublinGunner, I really enjoyed the 'not plugged in' comment...all too true).<br /> <br /> None of my audio-producing apps would produce sound...even the simplest of .wav players. I verified drivers, checked audio properties, checked volume control (for all playback types), etc.<br /> <br /> What finally 'fixed' the thing (after about 30mins of screwing around), was simply using the 'HRTF Demo' in the Sound Manager, as part of the AC97 Audio Configuration. For some reason, simply using that one option 'reset' my audio. There's absolutely no reason to expect this would fix the problem, yet it did. One of the bizarre wonders of Windows.<br /> <br /> XP Pro:<br /> Start&gt;&gt;Settings&gt;&gt;ControlPanel&gt;&gt;SoundEffectManager&gt;&gt;HRTFdemo<br /> <br /> <br /> edited to include this:<br /> You're auto-censoring a perfectly legitimate non-obscene words like c.ockpit now?<br /> <br /> Also, I had tried the 'Speaker Test' tab just prior to using the 'HRTF Demo' (in the same app) and the audio still wasn't working at that point in time.<br /> <br /> edit to provide complete 'path' to HRTFdemo text/html 2006-06-05T04:06:13-05:00 Michael A. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#419003 Heh, you guys make my day. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> text/html 2006-06-04T20:48:23-05:00 paul jones http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#418910 Jesus wept, i've had this sound problem for ages. Cannot believe microsoft noobs!!! Why would anyone automatically leave it muted and not tell you? Even when you hovver over it nothing, I honestly didn't even think that it was this, it couldn't be so easy, well as you know it was that. And I class myself as someone who can sort any windows problem out. Who are they paying to write these programmes and who are they paying to check them, monkeys???? text/html 2005-10-04T10:21:34-05:00 jharry wahi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#331799 omg<br /> <br /> i had the same f**kin problem......thanks for the guy who found the fix, cuz in the volume control bar, it doesnt check the mute bar, and as said before, the color changes very very slightly.....STUPID ASS MICRO$OFT text/html 2005-08-28T19:53:25-05:00 guru Shane http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#317335 LMFAO I was about to ask about the mute button!<br /> <br /> Also, I have just solved another problem that I have had with Windows Media 10, if anyone's interested. If your MSN messenger ever stops putting your &quot;What's Playing&quot; info in your message, you should open your WMP and click on tools, then options, then the plugins tab. Make sure that the MSN Messenger one has a check mark in it. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> Problem solved! text/html 2005-08-28T19:34:27-05:00 Mark Ch http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44178/#317325 LOLOLOL. i did the same thing too!
