my 8525 (hermes) with wm6 played wav voicemail attachments from my phone provider (optimum voice) fine until recently. now media player doesnt recognize the wav file, pocket player just sits there, tcpmp says it does not play codec 0031 and so on.
optimum claims they have not changed the coding on the email attachments.
i have no problem playing these files on my desktop or laptop with windows media player 10 and or 11.
any ideas how I can fix this????
I am having the same exact problem. Did you find a solution to this?
-Michael
a wav can be many things
i would look in properties on the pc
as to what codec the wav is pcm is the base codec of
wavs so it's not likely to be that
been a while since i have been here. yes i found a solution. it was to hardreset and then restore. it worked fine for a long time, then i used a program and "cleaned" my registry and since then it has not worked. the prior solution did not work either since my backups postdated the error creation (i guess). so i am again looking for a solution that i suspect will be a registry fix. anyone got any ideas? if it plays and then doesnt play, a full restore it plays again etc, it cannot be due to specific wav characteristics or encoding. i has to be some file corruption (i suspect to the wav itself either by changing it since no program will play it, or by not doing some additional processing during saving)

Hi
I have an xda 2.
Ever since I installed/uninstalled winamp beta it, my phone will not play wav files anymore. I have tried adjusting the wav file assocation in pocket tweak however as windows media player does not play this, what does?
Is there a quick fix to restore this setting?
Has anyone else encountered this before?
Stevo
no i've used both versions of the winampaq and i never noticed any wav issues
will it not play wav at all ?
will it not start windows mediaplayer when you doubleclick on wav files ?
will windows mediaplayer not play wav any more ?
No it will not play wav at all. Btw I don't think windows media player plays wavs at all or am I wrong?
Lets forget what program messed up the settings. I just need to know how to restore the phone or system as the default wav player.
What application is normally responsible?
if it cant play wav files in sounds and notifications in systems
then i think there is more amiss then just a associating issue
because it should not depend on that
if you open up your power tweak (assuming you have it installed) can you tell me what application is associated with "wav" file type.
My voicemail-emails have attached GSM compressed wav files.
Of course that's good because uncompressed files would be much too large, but how can I playback those files?
Can I somehow download additional wav codecs for the pocketpc or is there a good player which can do it?
You only get those MP3 file players and nothing else...
I've tried BetaPlayer (pretty good divx player) which supports wav files, and I get the message "Audio Codec not found".
Problem solved
I just noticed that the WAV file was added to my pocket outlook notes since I put it in the My documents folder.
It can be played as an outlook note.
However, strange that pocket windows media player and other players don't support it.
windows media player dont support any non ms format apart from mp3
and this goes for both audio and video
dont know the format so i cant help i would prob search around for as many players i could using google looking for that feature if i were you
otherwise i suppose you can find a converter for the pc wihtout too much problems
Hi I recently installed Pocket DIVX player. Didn't like it so uninstalled it. Now Windows media Player 10 wont play my videos I recorded using XDA video recorder or mp3's unless I go through the Media Player library. When I try and play through file explorer I get the message "xxxx....cannot be opened Either it has not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file" This means I cannot have mp3 ringtones or play videos/music using file explore. Can anybody help?
anyone out there who can help?
hard reset, one of the problems of installing dodgy software...
try reinstalling the original application, then have all the default settings and file extension associations reassigned back to WMP10, then uninstall.
can try using tcpmp if that may provide an alternative.
never be afraid to hard reset, it only takes a while the first few times, and you get into a routine for it....
Maybe it's just a problem with file association? Not sure. Probably search the registry to see what program opens the MP3 and change it back to WM10
I'm probably wrong, but give it a shot
At the moment there is no programme associated with opening mp3's or the avi videos. Excuse my naivety but how do I do a hard reset? And what did you mean be re-install original application? Do you mean the Pocket Divx programme again? Thanks for your help by the way!

How do I search the registry?
To hard reset, select CLEAR STORAGE in the programs folder and then enter 1234. This will erase EVERYTHING saved on the phone and will return it to how it was when you first bught it, i think.
Regarding registry, use a registry editor. I use the one of Resco which comes with Resco File Explorer. There is a free one called TRE just look for it thru google.
Don't re-intall the Divx player, maybe re-install alll the other programs you installed in the first place when you bought it
Ok cheers I think the reset will be a last resort. All the programmes like WMP10 were pre installed on the phone so I dont have the disc and you can't seem to download WMP10 4pocket pc on the net. I think it's a case of trying to associate mp3's avi's etc with WMP10 as it seems to play wmv files no problem but I've tried everything to no avail What I can't understand is why mp3's and avi's can play on WMP10 by using the library and not through file explorer :? Once again thanks for your suggestions
the library and application itself understands that it can run the mp3 etc
however windows not wmp10 has associated the file extension ".mp3" to another application which no longer exists.
I have attached my file association for mp3 and avi from my registry. import it if you understand and acknowledge the risks with registry editing and I accept no responsibility AT ALL.
Hi mate. Thanks for your help. You were correct, in the registry mp3 and avi are were assigned to Pocket Divx I imported your 2registry edits using the registry editor TRE and avi and mp3 appear to be assigned to WMP but still no luck in playing them through file explorer. Any ideas on what to do next.
After a bit of browsing I've installed The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) which seems to play everything no problem and has an option to associate files rather than force it upon you like Divx did. Thanks for all your help but i've given up on WMP10 if you come up with an answer to my problem please feel free to let me know
under hkey local machine there are settings for wmplayer default extensions, perhaps this has also been changed. I have these attached for you to compare.
I also found more under multimedia extensions for microsoft which could also have been changed. the only other location where references mp3 came up related to arcsoft multimedia, so after this you should also test this area to ensure that mms hasn't been changed.
see how you go, but you may never be able to fully undo the effects of dodgy software and incorrect installations.
let me know if you need further keys. note, I also use tcpmp for my videos due to full screen and have allowed this to superscede some of my own wmp10 settings.
cheers
I think we were writing simultaneously so thought I would write again to see if you are interested in trying the above.
if you associated them to tcpmp, you may need to run the previous edits again to reassociate.
your call leave it with you
I will give it a try but tcpmp seems pretty good so far so I may leave it but thanks for your help mate!
I have added bunch of MP3's to my storage card at the root level. 2 things are happening that are real weird.
1. They show up in the ringtone list but will not play.
2. When you go directly to file and try to launch and error pops up that reads. "the file can not be opened. either it is not signd with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore the file." The wierd thing is if I pull it into WM player it works just fine. I only get this error when I try to open the file directly which I blieve if this is corrected my ring tones will work again.
Thanks for you help

You tried putting these in the 'ring tones' folder to see if you have the same problem?
yep same problem there. I hate to do a hard reset, but i'm running out of ideas.
Sorry if it's a silly question but are you sure they're mp3 format, not aac or wma or something else?
i double checked and they are mp3.
Have you installed a 3rd party application that is registered as the default player for MP3? if yes - you need to make WMP the default player back.
how do I make it the default again?
I to am having the same problem....... My mp3 ringtones were working fine until I downloaded Pocket Music and all my mp3's were converted to pocket music. I tried to convert them back to WMP by using RESCO file explorer. I would "play with" and choose WMP and get an error saying "The System cannot find the path specified." Of course im no the most technical person, so if anyone can explain that and tell me what I need to do to fix the problem I would realy appreciate it.
Thanks
Ring Tone
I'm having a similar problem (Wizard). The ONLY ring tone that will play is the Windows Default. It won't play MP3, WAV or WMA, whether it's in the Windows root, the storage card root, the Ring Tones directory or the Rings directory.
At least the Windows Default will play otherwise I wouldn't have ANY ring tone.
Update: In another thread someone said change the associations in Pocket Player. Well, I don't have Pocket Player but I DO have BetaPlayer. I dropped the mp3 association and the WAV and WMA associations and the ringtones are working again!
I have the same problems with mp3 files as ringtone. I even delete the GSPlayer from the PPC...and still the same error. I try moving it directly to the ringtone folder...still no luck...
Can anyone help?

Do the Mp3 have to be in a particular codec or bit rate to work? Some of mine work. Some don't and I've noticed the ones that I've made myself are the ones that don't work...oh and some trekker ringtones I downloaded
Same here.
I removed all of the file associations with BetaPlayer and I am still having problems. I have a program called PocketTweak that lets me actually assign associations, but I cannot see all of my program files.
Let me know if anybody finds a resolution to this ... or if you know how to see all of the files so I can start associating WMPlayer to them. I have a feeling if I can figure that out, the ringers will start working again. But I could be wrong ...
Kangle
I found a fix for me.
I also have GSFinder. I used that to look at my file extensions and noticed that the file extension mp3 was gone, even though it appeared in my PocketTweak program. I added the extension mp3 and chose Windows Media file as the program to open it.
Then I went back into phone settings and presto. MP3 ringtones are now playing again.
Hope this helps some of you. I think installing PocketTweak somehow messed it up b/c it was working fine before then, even after installing BetaPlayer.
However, I did change some associations with BetaPlayer last night b/c I had a problem saving internet radio stations links to my PDA b/c BetaPlayer would automatically launch/open the stream as opposed to giving me the option to save. I wanted to save them b/c I use GSPlayer to listen to audio. So there is also a possibilty that I changed something last night that caused it not to work today. Oh well ... again, I hope this helps some of you.
Hi all,
Anyone has come across an issue that WM6 Media Player can't play certain .wav files? How can fix this bug (if it is a bug)?. I have an answering service and they send my messages to my phone by email in .wav file and I can't open it with WM6 Media player error:Unrecognized file type. Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Genek
No one really has a clue?
Have you pulled the files from the phone and tried to play them on the computer?
Remember, .wav is just a 'container' for a sound file, the actual encoding could be just about anything (PCM, MP3, MPEG2 Audio, etc).
WM6 and .WAV
.WAV is not a native windows file. For this reason you are unable to play them on and WM PPC. You need to download either a player that will decode WAV or install a Codec to play .WAV files. .WMA is the default windows audio file.
Pain I know - but I think it has something to do with MS not wanting to pay for licensing for .wav playback.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong =)
