Streaming Audio + WMP + IE7 Doesn't Work hurricane1951[ at ]gmail.com 12.07.2007 00:46:22 I'm having a very weird problem, Actually, my brother is having it and I'm trying to troubleshoot it long-distance, so it's been a laborius process. Windows XP SP2 IE 7 WMP 11 He can listen to streaming audio EXCEPT when the web site uses its own web-based media player. Then he no audio but, and this is the weird part, we can see the video stream. If he goes to a site that launches his local copy of WMP, the audio's fine. Many Internet radio stations do this. Here's an example of a streaming audio site that doesn't work: http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?station=espn&launch=true If he logs in to MLB.tv to watch a game, he can see the video but not hear the audio. He's uninstalled then reinstalled WMP, but that hasn't helped. He's got a relatively clean system, but I don't know if it is a recent problem or has existed since Windows was reinstalled from scratch, since I never tested streaming audio on it.

Re: Streaming Audio + WMP + IE7 Doesn't Work hurricane1951[ at ]gmail.com 13.07.2007 03:58:46 OK, that seems like a workaround, but it doesn't explain why I'm able to use WMP11 and he's not. Would rolling it back to WMP10 be an answer for him?
