Cannot get audio from streamed .WMV files

Up until a week ago I had no trouble seeing & hearing CNN's streaming video. As of about 3 days ago, the audio is gone. The only changes to the system (15" PB with 10.4.2) have been the Graphics Update and the recent Security Update (which postdates the problem).
Repairing Permissions made no difference, reinstalling Windows Media Player ditto. Is there any way to change the plugin that opens .WMV files? I recently bought and installed (Long before this issue) WMV Player, which allows running .WMV files in Quicktime and wonder whether it would have better luck.
Help?

Thomas...don't know for sure but check out this link...see if this is the problem

  • Author       "javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException: cannot get soundbank from stream" after java update

    Not sure where to post this issue.
    I am noticing this error since I did the Mac update. The Mac update included the java update. Right now the java version is 1.6.0_31. My Mac OS X version is 10.7.3. I am seeing the problem for all the soundfont files that I am trying to load. The error i get is.
    javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException: cannot get soundbank from stream
         at javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem.getSoundbank(MidiSystem.java:565)
         at myPackage.MyMusicApp.main(MyMusicApp.java:14)
    Below is a small program I built that shows the code.
    package myPackage;
    import java.io.File;
    import javax.sound.midi.*;
    public class MyMusicApp {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                Synthesizer synth = MidiSystem.getSynthesizer(); synth.open();
                File f =  new File("/Users/poorav/eclipseGIT/myApp/soundbanks/1247_KitDRY.sf2");
                Soundbank soundbank = MidiSystem.getSoundbank( f);
                synth.loadAllInstruments(soundbank);
            } catch (Exception e)
                e.printStackTrace();
    I am not sure what the previous build of java I was on, but i know that it was a 1.6 version. Any ideas of what could have caused this?
    thanks

    No satisfactory progress!
    I submitted a bug for this using the Apple bug reporter on 9th April (#11208868) and despite asking for an update, it has been completely ignored (even now). I'm not impressed.
    I then issued a (paid for) Developer Technical Support issue which was credited back to my account a few days later with no explanation. When I asked why, I eventually got: "At this time DTS does not provide code-level support for Java"!
    So, Apple are assuming to responsibility for this problem. I realise that Oracle is mostly responsible for Java but Apple took this crippled version (how much testing did they do?) and updated our customers' machines with it. This has effectively disabled a key feature of our product and has cost us damage to our company's reputation. Still Apple don't care and they rely on the fact that we are too small to sue them. You can see I'm not happy! I naively thought Apple would make some attempt to assist their developers.

  • Cannot play audio from macbook pro 2009 to tv using hdmi with adapter

    MacBook Pro 2009. I cannot get audio from my my macbook pro to tv using an hdmi adapter

    That is because the 2009 MBP does not support audio via the minidisplay port.  You will have to tap the audio output port for audio and use the RCA audio input connections on the TV.
    Ciao.

  • Streaming .wmv files not working

    When I go to stream .wmv file from the website I use to access school lectures, I get an error message from what looks like Flip4mac saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application". In an attempt to resolve this I reinstalled Flip4mac 2.2.3.7. This still did not work. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Here is what I read from Flip-4-Mac web site. You need to install Quicktime 7 from your install disc for this to work. Then reinstall Flip-4-Mac again.
    Repair Permissions and restart your computer.
    JeffSp8, going to the finder and getting info...then choosing Quicktime won't force the browser to play the video. This only work for videos playing locally from the hard drive.

    Aprreciate help on this.

    To resolve this, you need to reconfigure the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service" (OATSHelperSvr) to start as a user who has privledges to run open script tests rather than the default SYSTEM user.
    Reconfiguring the OATSHelperSvr Service:
    1. Open the services panel (Start > Run > services.msc)
    2. Find the Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service
    3. Right Click > Properties then select the Log On Tab
    4. Specify an interactive user that has rights to run OpenScript (test by logging in as that user and running tests):
    5. Click OK
    6. Restart the service after dialogs are closed by Right Click > Restart
    7. You should now repeat this process for the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service" (eLoadAgentMon) Service (Two services in
    total)
    You should now retry running the test in Oracle Test Manager

  • IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

    If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

    Sounds like a bad battery.  You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
    I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

  • Getting audio from macbook to TV

    Hi-
    I am connecting my video from macbook to Olevial LCD via VGA, I get picture fine.
    I'm using a Mini RCA to connect the audio, from my macbook headphone jack to the tv's audio inputs (not composite, the ones right next to the VGA input on the tv).
    However, I still cannot get audio on the TV.
    I've gone into audio settings on tv but there is nothing that would help.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    When folks try to run speakers directly with a Mac Headphone output, they are often surprised to discover they will will need a small amplifier to run speakers. The sound output level is very low. Great for headphones. Not great for speakers.
    If the input on your TV goes directly to the speakers without being amplified, the sound level will be very low. Can you use the red and white RCA inputs? Some users report better results with those, if present.

  • I am having trouble getting audio from a DVD.

    Initially when I insert the DVD i get audio playing.  Then, I pair my bluetooth headphones, they say they are connected but I get no audio from the laptop speakers or from my headphones.  I disconnect the headphones and still get no audio from the laptop.  I have ejected the DVD and tried to start over and still have no audio.  I would like to have audio from my bluetooth headphones because this is a workout DVD.  Oh, I can get audio from itunes when my headphones are connected.
    Thanks in advance!

    There are differences among MacBook models in that most cannot use audio over HDMI, and according to at least one answered reply here in ASC discussions, you'd need another cable or adapter for audio if you don't have a 2010 MacBook...
    Here's a similar discussion with ideas, from a few years ago:

  • How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

    I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
    I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
    Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
    Ellen

    Hello Ellen,
    What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
    If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
    Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • No Video/Cannot get video from the camera

    I'm in Phoenix on a business trip and I've connected to the hotels "high speed" internet access. I've launched ichat and have attemted to engage an video conference with some friends.
    I can connnect via text and audio but to no avail with video.
    The error "cannot get video from camera" I believe is the error message, keeps coming up. Why ? Is the Hotels network at fault since it is quite extensive. Firewalls in the hotels network ?
    Thanks

    Hello again,
    I have an ADSL connexion (free in France) with a Freebox (acting as a normal modem) then a netgear router/switch. Since the netgear is not uPnp, I configured the port forwarding to my mac (since forwarded everything above 4000 (TCP and UDP) to go to my mac (slight exageration, but worked).
    It worked before, so this setup is not the problem. Probably a software upgrade. I downgraded to Quicktime 7.01 but wasn't able to test it yet. Will do this week end.
    If that's the problem, frankly, Apple is very bad at communicating around iChatAV. It should be in the troubleshooting papers somewhere like "Quicktime 7.03 can be an issue for iChatAV". I also have all the developer tools installed and the latest Java 5. I can't see how that would be an issue though.

  • I cannot receive audio from several of my internet music sites such as XM Radio online since switching to Firefox 4 Beta 1 - Help

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

    I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.
