PROBLEM
When trying to play MP3 files in any version of WinAmp, there is no sound. The same file may play well in other players like Windows Media Player but not in WinAmp.
Winamp No Sound Downloads
SOLUTION
There may be any number of reasons for this. The most obvious points of check are that the volume is not set too low and that the sound isn't muted in WinAmp, the cable connections are in and plugged in tight. Other things that creep up over time are that the sound connector has just degraded to the point that it doesn't work and even possibly the sound card has become faulty itself. But the latter are less common.
The problem may also be with Hardware Acceleration. To test this, follow these steps to toggle the option to see if it causes the problem for you.
- Click on Options menu in WinAmp then Preferences…
- If you are using WaveOut Output plugin click Configure button then on Device tab uncheck Allow hardware acceleration
- Optionally change from WabeOut Output plugin to DirectSound Output plugin.
- Test!
Winamp No Sound
Hope this helps.

Hi, I’ll try and make this quick :)
Somehow my friend and I have indirectly made it that his PC no longer displays movies, just the audio. We have every audio and video codec under the sun installed and we have tinkered with them to no avail, the Divx, Media Player 10, Media Player classic, VMC, BSPlayer and several others all play movies with no video.
Through our knowledge of video and codecs, etc we’ve deducted that it’s a filter problem (since it’s happening with all codecs and all players alike) so rather than keep on adding/removing codecs and reinstalling players as we were doing we’ve experimented with ffdshow and the VP6 filter etc to see if we can ammend the problem. But again to no avail.
Documenting our exact system-software setup would no doubt take 3 weeks, so we’re hoping this prob might just ring a bell with someone who has had the same prob of no video in any and all movie files.
We have used the ACE Mega Codec Pack for months and it’s proven so far to be the best compilation of codecs and players we’ve seen. My friend has an Athlon XP 3000+ running a Radeon 9800SE, both non-overclocked. With Service Pack2 and all other windows updates and as we said, we both have a variety of players and countless codecs, but this problem still plays all movies as black.
Sorry for the information overkill, but hopefully someone out there can analyse this a bit and work out why we can’t view anything at all.
PS. we didn’t change/tinker with any option at all prior to this occurence as the system worked A-ok, since then we’ve tried a few measures within our own knowledge to rectify the problem. Any and all help/hints would be greatfully appreciated.
