Windows Media Player error on startup

Asked By John P Bane 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/24/2014

Hello,

When I try to play a song in windows media player I get this following error, ‘No sound driver is available for use’. I am getting this error only after the system update; do I need to update the drivers too? Before the update I think it was working fine. Am I guessing right? Please explain me where I went wrong. Your help is great. Thanks.

Windows Media Player error on startup

Hello,

It looks like your PC is lacking of a very important driver. Drivers are such programs that makes the sound system of a PC function properly and give the best. As you don’t have any sound driver, you can’t play the music or others.

• Go to Start menu >> type “dxdiag.exe” >> hit enter >> press “Yes”.
• From the Sound tabs, you’ll find out the manufacturer of your sound card.

Search Google for driver for your sound card manufacture. Then, install it and it will work as it should do.
