I have Windows XP Pro. Realtek HD Audio sound card. For some really odd reason all of the sudden I can't hear the guitar playing on some of my songs. I can hear everything else playing but the guitar is drowned out and sounds very very low compared to the other songs and I really don't know what the problem could be. I have tried different drivers for my sound card all with the same results. Anyone know the problem or a possible solution?
I have a problem with playing video files. I can hear sound but no picture, no video. I'm using Windows XP home and I downloaded the latest codec for Window player and still won't work. I downloaded divx player and it won't work.. only sound.
Every time i right click or click on play all on my songs if refreshes explorer.exe and sometime says that it needs to close. It starting to do my head in now. I cant seem to do much without it either refreshing or restarting explorer.exe My HJT scans show nothing abnormal and i have scanned for Spyware, Virus's and may others but everything is clean, I have tried chkdsk but still the same.
My friend downloaded songs from her cd's onto her computer and emailed them to me. I am currently running Windows XP, Windows Media Player 10 and I just recently got rid of IE and installed Firefox. When I try to play the songs, they are license protected. It redirects me to the microsoft page to download the license and and error pops up reading "Error: Your netscape browser does not have mircosoft windows media services plug-ins installed." I went to the plug-ins section in Firefox and it is not there. I tried downloading a couple of different plug-ins from microsoft and none of them made a difference. How do I get this plug-in?
I went on vacation, and when I came back, I wasn't able to view myspace songs, myspace videos, and stuff on other websites.I don't know if someone messed with my computer while I was gone. Is there something I can download that would make this work again?
my computer freezes when I play some video games and also when I play AVI files (if I play mpeg files they work just fine, no freezing at all) But the thing is when I play games or AVI files my computer will freeze randomly (5 minutes, 30 minutes, just randomly sometimes it won't freeze at all) I don't know if it's the memory or not.
I have a gateway laptop. about 6 months ago i was listening to music through my itunes and the songs starting skipping and the comp froze. I tried to do ctrl alt delte and couldnt so i had to shutdown by just holding the power button. The computer was also really hot when this happened. Since then I have not been able to get the computer to work. It will start about and give me the option of how i would like to start (in safe mode or regular) and no matter which option i pick it will go to the loading screen for windows xp and just sit there with the progress bar going for hours or until the comptuer dies. It never gets past this point or gives me any kind of errors.
I suddenly have no sound. Can't hear a DVD or mpeg video. I checked the device drivers and everything seems to be installed. I tried reinstalling windows XP but it told me that I had 2 incompatible programs installed & would NOT install. I'm getting very frustrated. All I want to do is get my sound back.
I accidentally removed i think maybe a sound device from the 'add or remove programs'now i can't listen to my muzik or anything. i tried the system recovery just awhile ago and it's not gonna work cuz it's not bolded or somethin like that.
I bought speakers and cannot hear a thing. I get this error mesage that says there are no active mixer devices available and then i got another one that said no audio devices currently installed on your machine. I did all the steps in the support/help area but nothing works. ALso, when I try to adjust the volume the area is light gray and you cannot click on it to adjust.
I'm having intermittent sound issues. This is a newly-built computer. It seems that the sound I can't hear are Windows sounds or on the internet. Windows media player is playing, but I'm not hearing anything. I've checked my speakers and sound card. If I put a CD or DVD in, I hear sound or if I play the TV.
Can't hear sound effects in many games (and some system sounds), but I can listen to music and background sounds.Dxdiag sound diagnostics:DirectSound test results: Failure at step 20 (User verification of hardware): HRESULT = 0x00000000 (error code) (it pops up after the 1st hardware buffer test)I searched on google, tried everything.
My question is how to record sound and hear it from the computer speakers in the same time. When I record sound I see the green display viberating but how can I hear the sound in the same time?
Bought a new microphone thought the old one that i havent used for couple of years was broken. But my new one is not working either. I can hear people but they cannot hear me, it is not mute either. But sound recorder not working either, can anyone help please?
i recently installed a mic on my laptop (Toughbook CF-29) and I can hear myself/sounds from the mic through the speaker on my laptop, but xp sound recorder and/or Audacity won't record the sounds going through the mic/speakers. I have tried messing about with advanced audio properties, but can't figure this out.
My windows sounds dont work when i log in my user i dont hear the windows tune, i also cannot hear flash videos that are on the net. I've had this for a while now so cant really do system restore without loosing things.
I just reinstalled XP due to a computer crash and now I hear a beep with every keystroke. Anyone know why this is doing this and how to turn it off? I've checked the sound profiles and I can't find it.
i normally run on a linspire pre-loaded machine, but due to the heatsink on its way out have been using my secondary backup windows machine: http://littlurl.com/aw9rw there has been no issue for a while, however about 2 weeks going into 3 now.i've not been able to hear any sounds out of my speakers (Internet, cnn news, etc.)except if i used windows media player, cd's and any internal/preloaded sounds worked fine, as well as any 'testing'no yellow ! or errors were seen, or are seen currently.i began to muck about in the system files,the ultimate troubleshooter is an awesome program.and ended up tossing the system restore disks in.which seemed to just place another load of the os onto the hd.as a simple glance into the file system shows an owner and fred flintstone -(previous admin i was working under) besides the 'new' addition of mine.is it possible to have overlapping or multiple layers of an os on the same hd like this?i have sound only through wmp still.have downloaded and burned a copy of gparted to facilitate a clean sweep of the hd if needed to do a fresh/clean install.

In previous Personal computer when I dialed up,I would hear the dial-up sounds and dialing process. Now I don't hear anything.I have gone to the Control Panel and modem tab and have ascertained that the modem speaker is on.
After reformatting my pc, I'm unable to hear anything through my headset and my mic doesn't work. However, I am able to hear audio through my monitor speakers.
My computer is windows XP and Pentium 4. I had problems with booting the computer for a few months now and has gotten worst. When I press the reboot button, I hear the PC running, but the monitor is just blank. I had to click the reboot button MANY times before it starts, and whenever it does, I hear a beep sound and this green light flashes from the CD drive. After a few months later, I did it again but this time I don't hear the beep or see the green light flashing. So I figured out a way to make it work, and it was by clicking the reboot button like 10 times, then switching the back switch on the PC off, then turn it back on and reboot again once. So I was wondering if there's a problem with the monitor(about 9 years old),the graphic card(renewed it recently) or something else.
I've upgraded to WMP10, I've downloaded the decoder checkup thingy, I also have ULEAD DVD player and get no sound. I've run and completed suggestions from XP's troubleshooter. Video plays fine-looks great...no sound.
