I recently upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 and found that I couldn't get any sound. On having a bit of a rummage I was able to get sound from CD's and music stored on the hard drive. However I cannot get any sound from streaming which I used to be able to do fine before the upgrade.
When I select a streaming source, a radio station say, the window opens and after a brief buffering period it says it's playing and the timer starts but no sound.
I've tried to search extensively on the internet for a solution and although other people seem to have had this problem I have found no answer. The closest answer I could get was to "rollback" to my previous version of WMP (10). I followed the instructions on Microsoft’s website to what appears to be a successful conclusion. But still no streaming audio.
Any ideas :confused: :confused:
What maybe confusing matters is around the same time I got an icon in the bottom right corner of my screen saying "Local Area Connection 3 - A network cable is unplugged". This is apparently a Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Why this has happened is a mystery (to me at least) and everything else seems to be fine and dandy. Whether this has anything to do with my problem or is a coincidence is for higher beings than me to decide. But I thought I'd throw it in the mix.
If anyone is kind enough to reply then thank you. Could I ask you to write your answer so that a computer hignoramus, such as myself, can understand it.
