codec error with email wav attachments

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?

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)

[Q] Playing video issues on my Bravo

Just out of curiosity, I have a Bravo with the new 2.2 android update, but I have had this problem even before the update.
I install a video file through Motorola Media Link, or just drag and drop without Media Link, or remove the memory card from the phone and use a card reader to install a video file. I have even changed the settings on the phone when connecting with a USB cable (USB Drive, Media link etc).
The video file cant be read by the stock media player or any media player programs I get from the Android market. I delete the file and try it several times different ways, and the video works. But it takes me hours to delete repeat until it works.
I have tried each time in turn thinking it is one certain setting that I am doing, but the setting that did work, now doesnt and one of the other ways does.
Is there something I'm missing? Please help if you have a fool proof way.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Is the video file a file in which can be played on a mobile device? MP4 is the most common, but not all mobile devices can play a wide variety of media files.

[Q] Music loaded from PC via USB won't play

As the name suggests, I'm having some issues with audio playback on my new Iconia. I transferred all my music from my HTC Evo, to my PC, then to the Iconia using Acer's downloadable drivers. If I open the folder via a market downloaded file explorer...I have no issues. It is when I try to play the files in absolutely anything else that I get errors. Just FYI, the files are a mix of .mp3 and .wma files. Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm using File Explorer HD, and only the .mp3 files are playing within the explorer...the .wma files prompt for an app and fail

you can use windows media player to sync music

As far as I know, the WMA format isn't supported in Honeycomb natively.

I had the same problem but its was with google music. I tried power amp from the market and all my music plays fine now. And all my files are wma.

i ended up doing something similar with MortPlayer--still wish it would've worked with Google Music...I was realling digging the UI of that one. Oh well, at least my music plays now. If anyone ends up with a thought or a workaround for the native Iconia app, keep us posted here. I'd love to see a device where all of the stock software worked as it was intended!

Has anyone tried to sync music to our Acer's using Windows Media Player? If that can be used to send all the music to the device AND be able to use the default app...I'd be in good shape.

Yes. I did mention WMP above.
But I only did sync MP3 files, not WMA files. So I don't know about WMA part. MP3 is recognized and played flawlessly using stock music player.
Another note, if your music info (ID3 Tags) is not in English, make sure you have proper character encoding before syncing. Otherwise, they will be displayed as garbage. I think all ID3 Tags should be converted to UTF8, not sure, just used Foobar2000 to fix all my Japanese-title music.

After exchanging my first Iconia to BB for some other issues, I did as you mentioned with using the tablet as an external mp3 player in WMP and everything worked flawlessly! Thanks I also found a great .apk to be able to mount my NTFS HDDs to the tab without issue. So I'm in great shape now!
Chlballi

I tried an experiment with the music -- after syncing the music to my tablet using WMP, I noticed that it placed all of the files into the music folder within the root sdcard (internal memory) and google music pp worked great. I moved all the files from that folder to a folder created on the external_SD, and the app fails like before. Apparently the Music app that comes with our Iconias cannot see anything outside of its native internal memory

i tried to scan all my folders , nothing
and about the lyrics may i know which metadata files does it read ?
thanks

A. Install another audio player or
B. Convert all files to accepted format

I have the same problem.
Only Poweramp works for me + it has build in equalizer and you can change themes.

hi
try blackplayer ! it's free
but i'm bored to install other application for simple tasks , i mean at least the p8 player should play aac ! i have to open with the video player

[Solved - sort of]
Just to add to the confusion, I have a slightly similar/different problem. My P8lite plays m4a files bought and/or ripped via iTunes stored on the SDCard, then it wouldn't find newer ones I added. File explorer apps show they are there at
SDCard/Music/NewAlbum/Track1.m4a
SDCard/Music/NewAlbum/Track2.m4a
etc, etc
I like that the P8lite native MusicPlayer will look for and play random folders, except that the ones it can't find do show up in the VideoPlayer. ??!!?? I have another 3rd party app also called MusicPlayer that worked well on a previous phone, but it too cannot "see" the missing folders. These files seem to have been grabbed by the system and tagged as video. WTF? Is there a hidden limit on the number/size of audio files? How can these files be re-assigned as audio? Fishing round the AppStore to find a player that works seems a doozy way to fix what looks like a system fault...
[Edit] Problem comes from Apple, not Android: iTunes v.12 and later tags file info as "Purchased AAC", previous versions were merely "AAC". There's no DRM 'cos they will play on Android devices that play m4A, just they don't show up in many players' menu. I'm now using RocketPlayer, works for me. I haven't got any CD handy now to rip with iTunes12 to see what it does to that...

Broken title in audio files?

I have been running into a problem in which the title/artist tags of my audio files are not showing up properly.
Here are two screenshots of the most pertinent problem with the files https://imgur.com/a/4uhOG
Thinking it was a tagging issue, I used MP3Tag to rename/retag the files. I tried foobar as well too and it didn't work.
I tried modifying the character encoding of the files in foobar, assuming that the metadeta charset were not properly encoded but that failed too.
The format of the files did not matter, the files were a mix of FLAC and MP3 formats.
The only trend I managed to draw out was that it happens more frequently on non-english tracks, even then most other tracks, english or otherwise, works fine.
I cleared the MediaScanner, swap between music players, change ROMs and directory to no avail. On my PC however, it shows up fine.
Anyone knows of a solution to this, or is it the nature of the way the MediaScanner parses the files?
