Trying to play a video, but the sound doesnt play. I've downloaded a bunch of differernt things, but noyhing works. Where can I find a codec that fixes this problem? It's a Div-X problem I believe: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) Code 85

 

CRAP!!!!!!!
I dont know what I did, but now none of my music files are playing!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I restored it to yesterdays point, but it still doesnt work!!
I re-installed Windows Media Player 10, and still no go

 

Try restoring it to even before that. If that doesnt work try reinstalling windows media. Have you rebooted?

 

I tried reinstalling windows media, and still no go
the first thing i did was restart

 

try reinstalling the divx codec. ill look to see if i can digg up a new mp3 codec

 

The think the problem is somwhere between your chair and the keyboard...

 

Thanks... I'll do that

I went back 4 days on the restoring... couldnt go back more because I just installed Microsoft Office 4 days ago. Still didnt play the music. then I started having other problems, something about a Win32 host, Microsoft gave me the update to fix it, so I hope that doesnt come out again

 

They need make computers that are fool proof

 

So WMP, Real, and Quicktime have no sound. I can watch videos, but there is absolutely no sound

 

Is this normal???
NO AUDIO DEVICE?!

 

are your speakers plugged in correctly? They may have come unplugged...

 

Trust me... it's not the speakers
I can hear computer sounds (start up, click)

 

Watching **** without the sound just isn't the same is it Lalo?


lol jk.

 

<_<

Actually, it all started because of this darn download righ here!

I started looking for the missing codec to play the sound in the video, and in the process of downloading and uninstalling non-working codecs I think I accidently did something

 

reinstall you sound drivers then update them to the latest ones

 

you need to reinstall the sound card drivers as burningman said. check your manufacturers website

 

thanks A LOT guys!
Got it going again! :worship:
The weird thing is that it showed the name of my Sound Device under the hardware tab. It was there, but I had no idea how to get it working. It was even activated. I think I downloaded something that took my Sound Devices place, and when I uninstalled it it kept my sound device away
I restored my computer all the way to last month, checked to make sure the sound worked (it did). then I brought it back to 4 days ago hoping the restoring of the sound device would stick, and it did. The first time I tried restoring to four days ago, it didnt work, this time it did

Quick question: My computer has all of that reinstall stuff on my D: driver. How would I be able to reinstall my sound devices if this, or something else, needs reinstalling? Or am I screwed?

 

you would need to download the drivers from dell or what not. in all likelyness if its not working, it got deleted for some reason.

 

Thanks Colin
