No sound from WMP10

[Bobby]

WMP 10 has been perfect since I installed it but now I can't hear any sound
from it. I can hear sound from system events and also from some other music
players - but not Windows Media Player. I can see video but no audio
(although the graphic equaliser is active - it moves).

This happened when I installed a Logitech keyboard which comes with its own
media player ("Medialife" - which works fine - I can hear sound from it).

Any ideas what is causing this?

BTW I've tried to re-install it. No difference.

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to Options / Devices and
select Speakers / Properties. Make sure the Audio Device to use is "Default
Direct Sound Device" and not "Direct Sound:" followed by your sound card
name. This is anti-intuitive, but in my case it worked. Not a clue why,
though.

Check that you have not got WMP muted, it has its own mute button

It was muted. Why the feck does it have its own mute button?

Cheers.

Some people find it handy when they get a phone call while listening to
music.
