Windows 10: Windows 10 Media Player - trying to switch audio tracks causes error 0xc00d4e85

Hi -


Trying to switch audio tracks when using Media Player Win10 Pro-64 causes 0xc00d4e85 - "Can't play. Another app is controlling your sound card right now. To listen here, close that app and try again." This only happens with Media Player as I can switch audio tracks with other players (e.g. VLC Player) without issue. What information do I need to post here to help diagnose and repair this issue?

:)

Windows Media Player not showing extra audio tracks

Hi bwong,

Unfortunately switching audio tracks is one of those features buried in the new interface. You have to bring up the "classic" menu like so:

Press Ctrl+M or Alt to view the "default menu" (you can also right-click to the right or left of the audio controls, but "show menu bar" does not show in Now Playing mode).

Select "Play" > "Audio and language tracks".

Select the audio track you would like to play.

Press Ctrl+M to remove the menu.
