Hi all,
I installed Vista RC1 , build 5600. When I try to play any mp3's in windows media player, I get this error.. "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct". I can play video files , but there is no audio. I have SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio onboard sound card. I have tried changing the permissions on some of the mp3s(full controll to all users), but still the same. I have tried playing using other players like foobar,real,iTunes....but none of them work. I do not see any problems in the Device Manager and also do not see any errors in the Event Viewer. Please advise. Thanks in advance. |

I could not find a solution either. I have asked this question on numerous
forums with no luck, so I switched back to XP. "Pete" wrote: I am beginning to think no one knows how to fix this... I have searched for 2 days now...and no solution can be found.

Try getting an updated driver for your sound card which is compatible with
Vista. Also try installing the latest Vista version. "Pete" wrote: I am beginning to think no one knows how to fix this... I have searched for 2 days now...and no solution can be found.

Hi. I have Vista Ultimate and also SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio onboard.
The same problem. The driver is up to date (Vista checked online), after restarting I can play the mp3s but after pausing Winamp or opening Windows Media Player or another application the sound turn off. I found a way to restore it without rebooting. Here is how: Control Pannel, Hardware and Sound, Sound, right click on Speakers and then Propreties, Advanced tab, choose a preset then click Test. After some moments it says that another application is using the sound....choose to terminate that application and the sound come back. Till when? Till the next time it wants to go out... I wonder if this audio bug can be fixed.... "mcp111" wrote: Try getting an updated driver for your sound card which is compatible with Vista. Also try installing the latest Vista version.

I just tried going into the control panel sound, and when I got there it
recognized I was having a problem and asks if I wanted to disable something, so I clicked yes. Now everything is working. I hope this helps some of you folks. It was really frustrating before. |
