Windows 10: Can't hear CD audio file using Windows-10 Media Player

When I insert CD, select file in Media Player, and hit play, I can hear CD spinning, but no sound. I have activated F3 (sound) button, and also see audio activated in Media Player. Further, I've tried both w/ and without headphones.


Lastly, I can play my music files in Media Player. Media Player was automatically installed from my original Win10 OS CD (64-bit).


Can you help?? Thanks!

:)

Windows 10, Media Player 12, Burning Audio CD "An Error Occurred" details states "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while burning the file to the disc."

When burning an Audio CD using CD-R or CD-RW I am getting an error from windows media player 12.

"Windows Media Player cannot burn some of the files. To investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in the burn list."

Software installed on system is

• Windows 10 build 1803 (x64)
• Media Player 12.0.17134.81
• Nero 2018 Platinum

Using a LG model WH16NS40 drive and Magnavox 52x 700MB 80min disc. My C: drive is a Samsung 500 GB 850 SSD that contains my library of MP3 files. My paging file is managed by the system on a RAID 0 drive D: comprised of 3 Samsung 1 TB 850
SSD drives. Intel i7 7820X CPU and 128 Gigs of RAM.

Steps to reproduce,

• Open Media player
• Select enough MP3's in your library to fill the disc (I was using 700 MB discs)
• Add them to a new bun list in Media Player
• Insert a CD into drive. (tried both CD-R and CD-RW with same results)
• From the "Burn" tab in Media Player I selected the "Start Burn" button
• I immediately was given an error message:
  • "Windows Media Player cannot burn some of the files. To investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in the burn list."
• Changed to optical drive letter (mine is drive E in media player. Status in media player stated "An Error Occurred"
• Selected the red X next to file. It said the following:
  • "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while burning the file to the disc."
• Press the "Start burn" again and now different files from the same list are causing the error. Never gets to processing the files for the burn
• Keep pressing "Start Burn" until it works and no errors are reported. No changes of the audio files just clicked the "Start Burn" button.

Burn options in Media player are:

• General
  • Burn Speed - Slow
• Audio CDs
  • Apply volume leveling across tracks - CHECKED
  • Burn CD without gaps - CHECKED
• Data Discs
  • Add a list of all burned files to the disk in this format: - M3U
  • Use media information to arrange files in folders on the disc - CHECKED

I have a video of the this process to back up what I'm reporting


The problem is when I have a large selection of files I want to burn to multiple Audio discs, I have to "baby sit" the process and only process enough files to fill one disc (multiple discs won't retry just moves onto the next set of files). A burn of multiple
discs is a nightmare using Windows Media player and is as pleasant as backing up a 1 TB drive to floppies.

I've seen other posts about un-installing media player (did that), defrag the hard drive (SSD try again), Clean the CD lens, CD's are old technology (really!!!, an excuse I seen on this forum from another user). https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...burn-cds/ee7bf79e-1000-4c38-9259-d8eaf71dee1c

Please fix Media Player so it won't error out on files that are obviously not the problem. I've been using Media Player since version 10. I've tried others and they either focus on doing too much, poorly or don't have this ability to burn a playlist as
easily at Media Player.

 

Windows Media Player unable to rip CD

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

A. Are you able to burn CD’s using other programs?

B. Are you getting any error while you try to burn CD?

C. From when are you facing this issue?

If you bring up windows media player, then make a burn list, then insert disk to burn the music it will gray out the burn button. But if you insert the disk then bring up media player it will not be grayed out.

To burn an audio CD do the following:



I suggest you to follow the below steps.

1. Click the Burn tab, click the arrow below the
Burn tab, and then click Audio CD (this is the default choice).

2. Insert a blank CD-R disc into your CD burner.

3. If necessary, click the Clear List pane button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

4. Find the items in your library
that you want to copy to the audio CD.

5. To create a burn list, drag items from the Details pane (the pane in the middle of the library) to the List pane (the pane on the right side of the library).
