Won’t play audio on WMV files

27. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,

Windows Movie Maker will play my .wmv videos, but no audio. Earlier today, the same videos played just fine (sound + picture) on the video player app on Windows 8 (don't know the name of the app.) I just checked again, however, and now the sound isn't working there either.

Video volume setting is fine; nothing is muted. I checked the Volume Mixer on my computer, and nothing is muted (I checked both the master volume and the Movie Maker application volume). Audio works fine on iTunes, internet, etc. Are the files corrupted? If so, is there any way they can be saved?  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Many thanks!!!!

No audio in Windows Movie Maker.

I've been using WMM to shoot and edit my movies for months now. In fact, I just shot and edited a movie yesterday. No problems. Audio and video were fine, nothing out of the ordinary.

Later in the evening, I tried to go back and edit another video, and....no audio. At all. I played the individual clips comprising the movie in other programs - WMP and VLC - and the audio was just fine. In fact, in Movie Maker, the little sound wave indicators in each audio clip still appear, but no sound comes out for any of them. I even reopened the video project I had just completed THE SAME DAY, and it didn't play audio.

No system updates were made - to my knowledge - and I didn't download a single thing between the time it was working and when it stopped working. This happened before, but it was only when I had Adobe Premiere open at the same time, and all it took was me closing both programs and reopening WMM.

Thoughts? Help please?
