Media Player and winamp has no sound

[BarnyardMonkey]

Having a problem on one of my systems.

Sound was working fine till about 3 days ago.
now everytime i try to play anything in winamp or Media Player 7.x,i get no sound.
the video works fine in Media Player but just do't have no sound.


but Windows Default Media player plays fine,and all of my games and windows sounds work fine.
just seems to be Media Player 7.1 and Winamp.

mainly trying to play Mp3's.


If anyone has an idea what the problem may be i'd appreciate it.

if u have no sound whatsoever...in ANY program...and no warnings from windows...check physical connection of speakers...whether or not they are in the right hole or not...also...go to control panel....multimedia...show volume control in taskbar ... and make sure master volume is on and not muted...

Well i'm getting sound in everything but Media Player 7.1 and Winamp.

if i try to open an Mp3 with Mplayer/Mplayer2 it plays fine.
and also while in Ez CD Creator i can preview the song fine.

And all other sounds are working with windows/Games.

just though 2 Progs are having the problems it seems.

For Winamp try this:

From the main Winamp window click the "O" thats next to the time display. A submenu will come up, click perferences.

From there, in the left hand frame, under Plug-ins, click on Output, make sure "Winamp2 WaveOut" os selected. By default winamp uses the "Crossfading DirectSound" plugin. This seems to cause problems with some things. Normally switching to waveout fixes it.
