Just tried to rip some cds into my Windows Media Player and this error
code comes up along with the note that you are missing an audio codec.
The solution is to configure your codecs to update automatically which
it was already set for.

It won't let me rip to WMA but if I change the format to MP3 or WAV, it
works.

After some research, it appears this has happened to others.

My system is Vista home prmeium- SP1 and its WMP 11

Anyone able to help.

Does it work for any of the WMA ripping options?
What if any third party codecs or players are installed on the system?

Interesting one this.
For the past week I have been talking to HP as the system came pre
-installed.
All their suggestions were standard checks on configurtion etc.
I have downloaded K-Lite Codec pack 3.9.5. Full.

I only use WMP for Music. I also have Real Player & Quicktime
installed.
I installed Easy CD-Da extractor for testing. It also would not let me
rip Cd to wma.

I have just about given up and decided to now use wav or Mp3 for
future ripping but I liked wma as I use the DFX enhancer which really
delivers a quality sound.

I might try uninstalling Quicktime to see if it is responsible.

Any suggestions would be greatly received

What crazy nut thought K-Lite would have anything beneficial at all to add
here? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever at all. That's very confusing
to me.

The questions that I asked in my last reply to you are still the most
pertinent.

Anybody telling you to add further codecs to this system in order to rip to
WMA is incompetent. The codecs are already there, the *only* question is
why they aren't working for you. By you providing information about how
they're failing, that can potentially allow us to move forward here. =)

Overview.

I have a HP slimline s3150uk sytem with preloaded Windows Vista Home
Premium.
I use the Media player for ripping CDs and I have most of my Collection
allready ripped in wma format which is the default in WMP.
I have updated also to SP1.
I had not ripped for a good few months and when i did the error message
came as above with a note stating that I hadn't the installed codec.
My problem was reported to HP and I have had a stream of various bits
of advice, all useless.
In WMP I can change the format to wav/mp3. This works. But I cannot get
a rip to wma to work, allthough I can play existing wma files .
One of HPs advice was to d/load the K-Lite set of codec.
This issue appeared in other forum threads, but no resolution yet.
Any Ideas ????
