    Sound works for awhile and then doesn't
    « on: January 09, 2009, 05:43:44 AM »
    I have and E machine with 3400+64amd athlon processor, 100gb hard drive,dvd+/rw, 512mb.

    I recently did a complete reinstall and it worked great until about 2 weeks ago when I suspect that it downloaded those service packs that cause problems like this. I oculd be wrong on that.

    Anyway it will play videos good at startup for about an hour then if you go back to play another one no sound.

    Thanks for any help

    What Operating System?

    Does it happen all the time?

    Does it happen to the same files, or does this happen to any video?

      What media player are you using?

      What do you have to do to get the sound back?

      Can you try and see if the problem still happens with VLC Media Player:
