Windows media player not playing sound!!!

[abhi_shake]

I have no idea why this is happening but its only window media player which is not playing sound. Even when I open a video file it plays the video and shows the sound playing graph in the bottom tab, but no sound comes out from the speakers.
I played the same file in Nero Showtime and the sound was coming properly.
Help!!

Go to:
> Tools>Options
> Devices tab
> Select> Speakers and click Properties
> In the Speaker Properties menu..
> Sound playback> It should be 'Default Directsound device'.

Did you try Winamp or any other program to open the same sound file? Can you hear sound in this case?

Do you get any error messages? Play an audio file and find out if you see any error message. Also, have you installed any soundcard, or any other application related to sound in the recent past?

there is no codec problem for sure as you are playing sounds in NERO SHOWTIME so can be a error of WMPLAYER check for reinstallations and device settings in options as in pic

i can hear sound in every software except Windows Media Player.

@shantanu - could you clarify by what you mean reinstallations anddevice settings?

Reinstall your Windows Media Player. If you don't have set up of WMP then Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs. Then Go to Add/Remove Windows Component. Find Window Media then uncheck it then click Next. WMP will be uninstall. To reinstall follow the same procedure but instead of unchecking you must check hte option. It should work. Note: This is for Windows XP only if you have WMP 10 or 11 then they will uninstalled and WMP 8 or WMP 9 will be installed.
