| Hi
I have Creative Sound Blaster PCI128 installed, and I cannot play sound and video files, and get an error message when i use Windows Media player
0xC00D11BA: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
- Your sound device is in use by another program. Quit other programs that may be using your sound device, and then try to play the file again.
- Your sound device is not functioning properly. To troubleshoot the problem, see the Sound Troubleshooter in Windows Help or refer to your sound device's documentation.
- You do not have a sound device installed on your computer. Install a sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Error ID = 0xC00D11BA, Condition ID = 0x00000000
Everything seems fine with Device manager, and all jacks are in there correct
positions. No other program is being used, and i am getting no where with the Troubleshooter.I have downloaded the driver updates from windows Update.
The only thing i can see that might cause a conflict, is the fact that the drivers that came with the Hardware are not digital signed by Microsoft, but they worked fine with XP.
Can anybody help please.
Thanks

| Make sure the Windows Audio service is set to automatic and running.
You might also want to use the manufacturer's latest drivers, not Microsofts.

| Scared me the first time I ran into it. Glad to save you a couple of hours of troubleshooting. Don't know why this is turned off by default.

| Could be the wrong drivers for your card. Try downloading and installing the manufacturer drivers. Also check to make sure your speakers are plugged in correctly.

| well the reasoning is.. you usually dont need all that for a server like directx is turned off.. the sound and all the multimedia stuff. if you are running a server chances are you ain't gonna be playing high end games on it but yeah it is all good |

| Yeah, I was gonna say the same as peptobismal69: as is the case with DX acceleration, sound is optional on a server.
himom---
Open up the Volume controls and check for something called "3D-depth" (not sure of the name, though). If it's not there, go to Options--Properties and put a check mark next to it if you find it. Then play around with its slider while the music is playing.
