You have the audio codecs for the media you are trying to play?
You haven't accidentally muted wmp or taken the volume slider down too low?

Re: Lost sound in Media Player only


Do you get any sort of error, or does audio simply not play?
What audio card is this?
What changed on the system - what was installed previous to this breaking?

Open Windows Media Player. Then right-click the speaker icon in the notification area of the taskbar, select "open volume mixer". Has the sound for WMP ben set low or perhaps muted?
