re: Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available. (Error=00040258) Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 4:38 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Andy (3 messages posted) Steve, Possible problems with codec conflicts or corruption as you suggest certainly seems plausible. How would one go about correcting a situation like this? Currently I am trying to run with Windows Media Player version 7. I have reloaded this version followed by reloading the codec using WM9Codecs9X.exe, but this doesn't appear to have any effect.
