My sound won't work on vista?

Question

What codecs do I need?

Whenever I put on WMPlayer the sound won't come on

Answer 2

you only need a codec if you're like... playing media
ok if it's WMP: make sure the file is supported. if it's like wma or mp3 it should be. Then when it doesn't make sound click on the file in the now playing list and go to the error details. It will say it needs a certain codec and you can go to the site ("Web Help") and see which one it is.

then you can usually find it online... just searching for it. it may even have it on the microsoft site.

Its possible that your sound card isnt supported. you need to goto manufacturers website and find the support & drivers link from there you will have to input what model it is then locate the drivers for vista. Its possible that your manufacture isnt supporting your sound card any longer to so you may have to upgrade it.
