Mike19 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hello Everybody. W/o fanfare or warning, my Windows Media Player is playing, but I'm getting no sound. Last night I was window shopping for WallMart MP3 downloads and tried to play a sample track. No sound. I checked my WMP v11 and found that it did play tracks from the Library, but no sound coming out. I went to Device Manager > Sound & Audio Devices > Properties and discovered that there was "No Audio Device"! Normally, I have this set to "USB Audio Device". After an hour of fooling around, including making sure every audio device (including my SB Live 5.1 soundcard) was enabled and not unmapped, I still could get no audio device to show up. BTW, my JRiver Media Jukebox works fine, even w/o "No Audio Device" This seems impossible, but there it is. So, (1) how do I get my "Audio Device" back and (2) is the absence of the Audio Device the reason why I get no sound from WMP? My system: > Viper custom desktop PC > Windows XP Home (SP3) > Exact Audio Copy suite > ASIO4ALL > JRiver Jukebox > USB out to Behringer U-Control> optical out > Musiland MD10 DAC (OS) > RCAs to analog preamp. Would appreciate any advice. Mike Link to comment
Mike19 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nevermind. I fixed it. Got into the soundcard and found a thingee to set default audio device - had none selected. Selected "USB Audio Device" and now I'm back in business. Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Fabulous! I was thinking of a way to help you on this one, but the variables are so huge. No sound can mean so many things! Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
