Hi,

After playing around trying to optimize MediaPlayer I have ended up with some problems. Main problem is that audio level have dropped to almost nothing. I have to turn up the volume to almost max to have some sound. The strange thing is that this is not a problem when playing multichannel audio (AC3/DTS). It is also a problem when playing MP3. I have to add that I have no problems playing the same videos/mp3's in Windows MediaPlayer with normal audio level.

After reinstalling a few times and fixing some Vista security restrictions I am now able to find logfiles and are attaching some that I hope can be helpfull for someone with a sharp and helpfull mind.

If you in addition can spot why I suddenly cannot play trailers and music videos in the plugins I will be near MediaPlayer that will make my Vista MediaCenter ready for the "Recycle Bin".

Thanks,
YakoBay

Edit:
After searching I found the solution for trailers and music videos here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/error_unable_play_selected_music_video_please-t21331p2.html.
The trailers and music videos have normal audio level but my divx and mp3's are still on a very low level.

Hi,
In vista "MP" has a "own" volume bar, open vista volume control & you should be able to set a new volume...
NB!, have MP in windowed before opening vista volume control (mixer)

Regards
Roy

Tusen takk!!!!

Was scared I was stuck with Vista Media Center.
Now I just have to get back where I was before this problem came.
Have played around with MP so much not that it's a lot of things that don't work like ut used to. But hope that a fresh install will fix most off it.
If not - then I am really happy there are people like you around Roy.
