Non Techincal Fix
by cwwl - 3/4/07 8:03 AM In reply to: No audio when streaming video by gailstoutFirst Thanks to xray88 for the registry change it works.
If you do not want to change the registry do this. The registry fix is the best solution but the fix below will work for the faint at heart.
Open Windows Media Player, Click on the "Now Playing Tab" and select
"More Options" select the "DVD Tab" click on the "Advanced Box"
under the Out Put Box "click the down arrow" beside (AS is (no change)
select "1/0 mono" click "Apply & OK" and "OK" again. Exit Media Player.
Thanks!
by gailstout - 3/4/07 5:35 PM In reply to: Non Techincal Fix by cwwlThanks, cwwl. I have made note of that fix also. I seem to have strange problems so I'm very appreciative of the answers here on the forum.
Thanks again!
Super
by vishalkurup - 12/26/07 4:17 PM In reply to: Non Techincal Fix by cwwlThe edit via WMP also works. Thanks a bunch cwwl!
Here's another question for either cwwl or xray88. What exactly are we changing when we switch these values from 0 to 1 in the registry.
Looking at cwwl's fix, it looks like we are switching from 0 (unknown) to 1 which is mono. I tried switching it to the value 2 (stereo -using cwwl's method) and it works fine as well.
Any enlightening information is greatly appreciated 
You guys rock, as does gail for starting this thread.

No audio while online trying to stream You tube
by black68gtx - 3/5/08 7:27 AM In reply to: Non Techincal Fix by cwwlI done all of these suggestions, but the problem I think is with in Windows XP.
I have 2 drives, one with the original XP tha came with the desktop. When I connect with that Everything works.
When I disconnect the original and connect the drive that has XP from another source (work related version) the stream will not work whenonline to You Tube.
All things being equal, there is a problem with this work related version of XP.

Solution - no sound in stremaing video
by dockarl - 7/21/07 9:28 PM In reply to: No audio when streaming video by gailstoutHi Folks - this can often be a codex problem. You might like to check my solution to the problem here - http://www.utheguru.com/solution-no-sound-in-cnn-video
Cheers,

Yes
by jamon51 - 7/22/07 9:45 AM In reply to: Solution - no sound in stremaing video by dockarlThe codec can be the problem but in my case I tried what you suggested first and it didn't fix the problem. So I would recommend installing the codecs first and if that doesn't fix the problem then try the registry tweak.
Thanks for your post!
No Mono Audio
by Curtsey - 2/5/08 3:12 AM In reply to: Solution - no sound in stremaing video by dockarlI am having the same problem with listening to Mono Audio
after updating my computer with the Microsoft Update
software patch as of Feb 1, 2008. It seems that my Windows
Media Player was updated to version 11 with some security
patches. Once the update happenned, I can no longer listen
to mono audio. It sounds as if my audio is turned all the
way down to volume 1 (not muted)
= > I have no problems watching any video or listening to
stereo sound. I only have problems hearing any type of mono
audio.
What am I trying to listen to?
- I am trying to listen to a Vonage voice mail that you can download
and open through Vonage... they use the following codec /spec:
: Bit Rate: 64kbps
: Audio Sample Size: 8 bit
: Channels: 1 (mono)
: Audio Sample Rate: 8kHz
: Audio format: CCITT u-LAW
Opening this audio on any other machine that I did not update yet works
great!
I have tried:
- various USB/ Analog stereo headsets
- analog stereo speakers
- my computer knows correctly that I am using the correct /2.0 stereo/
audio device
- made sure I updated all my codecs to the latest versions... I am
using plain vanilla microsoft codecs
- I uninstalled and re installed windows media player to the latest
and best
- not a chipset / bios issue - using latest and best confirmed working
- made sure Im using the latest flash/ shockwave, direct x, quicktime,
and real player
- I rebooted my machine after every test attempt
Once I turn "ON" the SRS WOW Effects feature in the Windows Media Player,
I can hear the mono audio sound without any problems. However,
this "fake" surround sound feature on my 2/0 stereo speakers does not help
once I try to listen to mono audio through my browser at sites such as
CNN.com news reports for example that plays the audio in the browser.
In addition, if I use a different player that does not have that feature
the mono audio still does not play.
I have tried all the links I have found on Google including the main
2 that seemed to have worked for others but these do not work for me:
Their recommendations:
1) http://www.w3exchange.com/t674-3-a-bug-in-wmp-91011.html (even without
Ac3DX.ax installed on my computer I have a problem)(doesnt help) ..
I have tried ac3filter1.46 and versions 1.45b, 1.40b, 1.35b, 1.30b
2) http://www.click-now.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3778 registry
changes (does not help / save a backup of your registry before modifying
anything)
3) I tried to make sure I am using all the latest and best codecs (doesnt help)
4) I tried the "all in one" / "check the latest & best update codec software"
codec downloads (doesnt help)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Two suggestion
by Dango517 - 2/5/08 12:15 PM In reply to: No Mono Audio by Curtsey1) revert the media player to the previous version that worked
2) after making sure your audio driver and software is up to date.

No sound in videos
by nlisenhour - 11/1/07 7:15 AM In reply to: RegFix worked by xcgeekHello! I can't get sound on CNN, MSN, ABC, CBS, etc. videos. Audio is ok on other (CD's, emails w/audio messages, etc.)
Have Windows XP; Adobe Flash Player 9, Media Player 11;
Have tried installing new Codec All-in-One; registry fix (Media player value from 1 to 0.
Am wondering if it has anything to do with anti-virus program - Bit Defender, blocking something, but don't know how to check that.
Please- do you have any suggestions?
Reinstall adobe
by Dango517 - 12/20/07 12:18 AM In reply to: No sound in videos by nlisenhourremove it from add/remove programs (XP) or programs and features (Vista) first. Then reinstall it.
run check disk
check settings in start> control panel> sound>
Update driver for audio adapter. Which one?
Download and use RealPlayer it can play all the players plus adobe. It has become an all-in-one. Plus it downloads videos from the web as well.
This problem does not require a registry settings change. Be careful in the registry. Mistakes here can be a nightmare to fix and may require a reboot of the OS. Create a restore point before making any changes to the registry. Back up files might not be a bad idea as well.
Amazing the complexity of things here in this virtual world
by Dango517 - 3/5/08 8:51 PM In reply to: Reinstall adobe by Dango517So complex that we often become mired in it, bogged down by the endless detail. Amazing. Perhaps few areas are more illustrative of this then Media Players. Let's see there's Windows Media Player, Real Player, Adobe Flash, DivX, Quick Time, etc., etc.. Then of course there are the settings maybe 75 per player. Of course this is all only the tip of the iceberg. So the real question is how do we simplify all this so that we're not endlessly fighting our Media Players?
Real Player now can play all the other players within itself, illuminating all the rest. After you realize this then the choice of Media players becomes clear. One player, one set of settings. Not a perfect solution but a major improvement none-the-less.
If this insight escapes you. Then all media players can be uninstalled and then simply reinstalled. Maybe by now your beginning to realize a big part of the problem might not be the media player at all but the user of it. This will correct any changes he or she might have made. 
Do, avoid the registry whenever possible. The registry works at a very fundamental level to the operation of your PC, far below the visual image you see and interact with on your monitor, nearly to the machine level of the CPU. Mistakes made here can "really" screw things up. I'm not a fan of a four+ day total OS/system installation and associated file loses so I avoid it when possible.
If you think your having registry problems use a registry repair program first. They are available here:
http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.html?qt=registry+repair&tag=srch&tg=dl-20
These too have risks, remember your dealing with the registry. The good ones have a restore option built into them. (now a word from my disclaimer....use these at your own risk.)
Unfortunately like most everything I do I had to learn this the hard way but I did learn. Those lessons seam so far away now. The journey of a thousand miles does begin with the first steps.
