| VMC - XmRadio App - Audio Good Day.. I am at my wits end and I am hoping someone can help. I have Vista Home Premium on a purchased rig that is about 1 month old. Every part of the Media Center works in regards to Video & Audio. The live tv app works, I can play recorded tv, play CD's DVD's, mp3's through my music, everything works. What does not work but it used to is the XMradio app within media center. I select the app, I log in to my account, I select Listen Now, I see the channel line up, I select a channel and it says "playing" but there is no sound. I know most of the apps within Media Center use Windows Media Player. Launching WMP on it's own and testing what it does and does not do, everything works here also. However there is no way to play XM radio directly through WMP. I don't use the XM app within media center too often but if I had to guess, it may have stopped working correctly after the install of SP1 but I am not certain. I have uninstalled & re-installed my sound card drivers as well as found an update. I don't think it is the sound card drivers as all other sound applications work. I think that there may be some association with the XM app and WMP that is missing or corrupt however I can find no information as to how it actually works or what file or reg entry has the configuration. Any help in his matter would be great. If I can not resolve this issue, my next step would be a clean install of the OS but as we all know, that takes a tremendous amount of time and work. There has to be some config file or XML file or reg entry that is keeping the XM radio app from streaming to WMP and / or the sound card. |

Location: Fremantle, Western Australia | Re: VMC - XmRadio App - Audio Hi Barryware, Have you tried repairing the XM app install from the "programs and features" control panel or checking for a updated version of the application from the software manufacturer? |

| Re: VMC - XmRadio App - Audio Thanks for the reply.. there is no repair option. The XM app is part of the media center. On my MCE 2005 rig (which works), it is located under "online spotlight", in the Vista Media Center, it is located under "More Music". It is not a third party app. |

| Re: VMC - XmRadio App - Audio I don't have a link. As I said, in media center 2005, the XM radio app in located in the "online spotlight". In Vista MC, the app is located under "music & radio", then under "more music". it is grouped in with a bunch of online stuff. You may have to scroll sideways to see it. |
