I recently installed the latest version of Media Player (Release Candidate 1) after using WMP 9Beta quite happily for a while - and I'm now wishing I hadn't !!
I can play DVDs using it, but I don't get any audio (I've checked that Media Player can 'see' my soundcard in Tools, Options, Devices) - if I use PowerDVD I can play the DVD with no problems, and I don't have sound problems with any other apps (including Windows own OS sounds).
Also, I've found that since installing it, I can no longer play any MP3 - Media Player loads, looks like it will play it, but then stops playback immediately.
Finally, I can't play back any AVIs (using divx or mp4 codecs) in WMP. It starts playing them (abeit without any audio !!), then up pops an error message which seems to be different each time, e.g. "Invalid File Format", something about "pins" which I can't remember, etc etc....
I've tried everything - reinstalling my graphics card/sound card drivers, checking all settings in Tools, Options (these haven't changed since before the update) and lastly restoring to the point before installing the update - and NOTHING BLOODY WORKS !!!!
Help !!
