Hello, Windows Media Player has always worked fine with all my digital music. More recently on this Vista Home Prem. PC it has stopped playing audio in WMA and WMV. It plays audio in AVI just fine. I find that a bit ironic. Anyways, ive tried different settings in WMP and in Sound Options themselves. Ive unintalled my Combined Community Codec Pack and reinstalled it. I checked for missing WMA and WMV codecs and they are there. Any help i really need this working. Thanks.
hese instructions are for Windows Media Player 11.
follow these steps.
click on START.... RUN.... type in regedit.exe
click on folder [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
scroll down and click on the SOFTWARE folder and expand it
scroll down and click on Microsoft, expand folder,
click on Media Player folder and expand this folde
click on NodeCLSIDs folder.
Within this folder be careful and choose
\{95037DA1-6ED9-4B27-8CFF-9AD3DFB0B2F2}].
Now you should see 4 options on the right hand side of the screen.
Highlight the second option down "AutoInsert" - double click it and change the digit from (1) to (0). That is a zero.
Now close the registry.
Problem should be solved.
Sometimes the reason WMP can't read wma/wmv files is that they have DRM license protection.
Check this tutorial which might share some light on your problem:

Good Day!
to fix the problem as suggested by Vzardy you must first dish out $30.00. I would first try the original post as this is the most common reason it would stop working, especially after an upgrade or update. Not to mention it is free.
