My Windows Media Player used to play fine, but something happened to it and
it does not have audio coming out of the speakers. My real player works fine
and other devices too, except some movies on the internet have no audio
playing.

Please somebody help!

I have the same problem. Sorry no solution as of yet, although support had
this to say:
Another Program Is Using Your Sound Card:
If you have a sound card in your Windows NT-based or Windows 95-based
computer, verify that no other programs that need your sound card are
running. If such programs are running, quit those programs.

or:
Hardware Acceleration Slider Is Set too High
If the Hardware acceleration slider is not set to None, move the Hardware
acceleration slider to a notch closer to None.

To do this in Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition, follow these steps: 1. Click
Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click
Multimedia.
2. Click the Audio tab, and then click the Advanced Properties button under
Playback.
3. Move the Hardware acceleration slider to a notch closer to None in the
Performance section.
4. Click OK, and then click OK again.
5. Click Yes if you are prompted to restart your computer.

I have not tried this yet as the problem is on another PC.
