isnt this trouble quite annoying.
I speak for everyone that this tread was helpful. about this one i am quoting below,
i dont know if i did it incorrectly but when i did this, it did work for a couple
of hours before it did the same media player error saying it couldnt find the hardware
necessary.
so thought it worked, i ended up doing the same procedure everytime i lost my sounds.
that tire me so i stopped that and contended myself having
i also did the comand prompt solution listed here, but sort of work, but also made
my computer slow at start up. i dont know what mess i made myself blunder into.
at the end, i just restored my system to a point before all this misfortunes happened.
and it worked.
i remembered that this problem occurred when i misfortunately clicked on the windows
update, and media player itself updated. im not sure if that is the cause, but seems
like it.
after i have reinstalled every possible driver, tried this one i quoted below, and
did the emulator solution, i restored my system to a certain point (which i remember
before the update carried on)
so if all doesnt work, you might want to try restoring your system.
this forum is really helpful. thanks to all
