N900 Cannot play media - Audio Codec not supported

I'm trying to play a radio station on the N900 internet radio but I get the message that the media cannot be played, audio codec not supported. I was able to play the same station on my old N96 and other stations work on the N900.
Is there something I need to download to sort this out?
N96 v11.018

Playing media audio on a bluetooth plantronic M25

On occasion I can get my Galaxy s4 phone to connect to my Pantonic M-25 bluetooth and play media audio, I do not really ever know exactly how I get it to connect, but it never stays connected. How can I keep it connected??? It plays just fine from the Ellipsis Table that I have, all of the time!!!

Hmm, that's odd Oinklesam; but I totally understand we need to assist to resolve it. First, make sure both, the tablet's and the your phone's bluetooth setting is off. Then, power on the M-25 and pair with the Galaxy S4. This should resolve the problem. From the information you provided, it sounds like the connection is interrupted because it's trying to pair with both devices at the same time.

"Cannot play media while voice activated dialing is active"

When i downloaded the youtube app today, i wasnt able to play it, and the notification came up that it "Cannot play media while voice activated dialing is active". The same thing happened when i tried to listen to music, and when i recieve a call it only vibrates, due to the fact that voice dialing is on. However, when i try to open the voice dialing app, it wont open, not even when i press the convenience button. Ive also changed the options on the voice dialing options and disabled everything i could, but the same message comes up. Its quite annoying, and when i phoned vodafone they told me they had no information on this matter... great help! so id be glad if someone could figure this out for me. Im a bit of a technology-**bleep**, so it might be the easiest thing ever, but im clueless!
thanks

Media format is not supported on OS7, but OS6 is working

Why is this URL Media on OS6 Browser well working and on the new OS7 I'm getting an error? Ideas?! http://bit.ly/tp671l
Or: tvthek.orf.at/l
Very long buffering (about 2min) and seems to not swith into WAP mode for streaming.... After that: error: not supportet media?!
But on the OS6 browser it works all fine......
Any ideas?
Thanks, kind regards

Frank:
I was chacking the result with the Apple DVD Player and get the error report "Media Type is not supported" (Translated from german).
Did you get that message from DVD Player?
After burning the Folder with Toast the DVD is running correctly on the Mac, but not on my stand-alone players.
In Toast check you selected Data disc > DVD-ROM (UDF) and drop the VIDEO_TS folder inside. It's a good advice to create an empty AUDIO_TS folder because some players could look for it.
For me is safer creating an .img file from DVDSP and drop it into Copy tab in Toast. In that way you have not to remember what files to selct and the image has the complete right format to comply DVD standards.
What media are you using: +R -R +RW -RW ? Some players have problems running the RW media.
The same problem I have with my old VIDEO_TS Folders I created months ago and worked very well.
If you had those VIDEO_TS folder archived and tried now to burn with bad results, that's nothing related with DVDSP !

Error - "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played"

Hi all,
I'm trying to stream an MP4 video on my iPhone 4 (OS 4.2.1), which I could do with no problems before. For some reason I am now getting the error "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played". I have tested this URL on a PC web browser and it streams fine. I have tried over the 3G network and wiki... same result.
Has anyone experienced this and / or has a resolution?
Thanks,
Dave

Stereo Mix Audio format not supported?

Hi
I'm pretty new at streaming, and i need help with my audio setup, I'm selecting Stereo Mix from the dropdown menu in the FMLE 3.2 but when i do it says.
"Audio format not supported."
"Audio format provided by audio capture device is not supported by this application."
I don't really understand why, since my mic device is supported. Why does this occur?
And how can I fix it?
I have a motherboard soundcard "VIA HD".
EDIT: I figured out why it doesn't work.
I went to the Recording devices menu to check the options but I noticed that Stereo Mix was "Currently unavailable" I figured maybe a program was using it but I don't know how to check what programs use the device.

I have noticed something else which is weird : the recording device is ALWAYS called "Line 1".
I tried renaming both the VAC playback and record devices Line 1 to other names, FMLE still displays "Line 1". This makes no sense (and Audacity sure doesn't behave that way, I have checked).
Should I need to make a complete uninstallation to wipe old FMLE settings ?

Windows Media Player cannot play the audio files

Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, it's my baby, and suddenly I cannot play any sounds! When I click to play a song on windows media player it says:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.
I have tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm really rubbish with computers, I can't understand this at all, I've followed every path suggested by the 'help' section in my computer and I still can't listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going mad here!

Hello
I have had similar problem after usage of Windows Live messenger (talk option). The sound was suddenly gone without any reason. I have done follow steps:
Close all running applications
Enter start control panel system hardware tab device manager and remove listed sound card
Start Add Hardware option in control panel.
The sound card should be detected and installed properly. After doing this try please to use Windows Media player again
Good luck!

I messed up: codec not supported

I am studying Itallan. I found my way to Italian TV and radio stations on the web and had them playing just fine in Safari. When I clicked on the <Link to Video> on the page in Safari, Windows Media Player launched and I could watch the video and listen to the audio just fine, or in the case of radio programs, just listen to the audio.
Then I did something stupid.
I thought I'd try and download some freeware with which to record these programs and move them to my iPod for use in the car.
I tried a couple of freeware apps, none seemed to work well, so I trashed them.
When I went back to the Italian web page, clinked on <Link to video>, the video launched and there was no audio. Just as the Windows Media Player opened the file, it warned: This file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported.
I then tried to open some humorous .wmv files I had saved months ago to my HD. When I launched them, same thing. Video plays but no audio. I tried some of my saved .mpg files. Same thing. Video's fine; no audio.
When I click on the Italian radio stations in Safari, they stations will not play and the Status Bar notes: One error opening the page: choose Activity from Window menu. Activity noted, inter alia, in red: Plug-in cancelled.
Checked my Audio preferences, all is fine and I have my system beep, tunes play in iTunes, etc.
I backed up before I began playing around so whichever file or plug-in went AWOL, I should be able to get it from my backup.
When I logged out then into a new user account and tried to go to the Italian sites, exact same thing happened. Video, but no audio.
Help...I need to get this working so I can get on with my Italian studies.
Many thanks for saving me from my own stupidity.
bob

I solved my own problem.
I remembered that a few months back I had a similar problem, this time not associated with the installation of any new software. I was directed to an Apple Knowledgebase article on what to do when this happens.
The solution, then and this time around, was to go to Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and check the Audio Output Source settings.
Both times, mine had been reset from 44100.0Hz to something much higher.
When I reset it to 44100, all was well again.
Thanks for replying, nonetheless...bob

Sound has stopped working; failed to play test tone; format not supported by the device (Vista x64 Ultimate)

I can no longer hear any sound from my speakers/headphones. This happened suddenly yesterday without any hardware changes or noticeable software updates.
-- The sound is not muted and the volume is set to full.
-- In the device manager, my SigmaTel HD Audio device has no warnings or errors.
-- I can't find any related messages in the Event Viewer.
-- The primary audio device is selected as the default for playback. The mixer shows my media player as being mixed properly to the device.
-- In the sound control panel, under Playback > Speakers/Headphones > Properties > Advanced:
- I get the error message "failed to play test tone" when I try to Test my Default Format (dvd quality)
- I get the error message "format not supported by the device" when I try to change my Default Format
-- Note that unlike others who have similar problems, I'm not joined to a domain
I've tried
* rebooting
* uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the sound card
* "disable all enhancements" in the sound control panel

    * Post a link to the generated log file which you can find in: %WINDIR%\system32\LogFiles\Audio
but don't know where to post the resulting AudioSrv.Evm.001 file. It's also not human readable and I can't find what utility parses it for reading.

Dell confirms it's an OS issue after troubleshooting with me for a couple of hours (wow)
Is there a way to look at this EVM file _without_ installing the Windows Driver Kit??

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Windows Vista Forum.
Upon your description, I see that you have done a lot of research and tests. Unfortunately, none of these troubleshooting works.
Based on my experience, this issue related to "failed to play test tone" can be related to several reasons. It also includes hardware defect. I am confusing why Dell confirms that the issue is related to Operating System. Could you let me know what operation Dell had troubleshot with you?
Meanwhile, here I just provide more troubleshooting except what you performed. If it doesn't work, I may also need to recommend that you contact Dell for support.
1. Microsoft has released a Hotfix to troubleshoot related to "Failed to play test tone".
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930883
2. Make sure that these services are started.
Windows Audio
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Remote Procedure Call
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
3. I noticed that this issue occurred not long ago, I may need to suggest that you perform a System Restore to the previous restore point when the computer without any problem.
System Restore
==============
1)     Please click on Start and choose All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Windows Backup.
2)     Click Restore on the left pane.
3)     Choose Basic Restore.
4)     Follow the wizard and click Next.
5)     If you would like to restore everything in the backup, we can check the box “Restore everything in this backup” on the top of the window.
6)     We can also browse and choose certain files and folders to restore. Then, click Next.
7)     Then choose the folder to save the recovered files and click Next.
8)     When we see a “Restore is complete!” message, click Finish.
Meanwhile, as I know, I'm afraid that there is no other way to look at EVM file except Windows Driver Kit. Maybe there are some third-party software that out of my mind can look at EVM files, you may need to perform more research on Internet.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

USB Audio CODEC not being recognised.

Hello,
I have my my Wharfedale 802 mixer plugged into my MAC Mini (late 2012), Processor - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory - 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, via USB however it is not being recognised as USB audio CODEC what so ever. I have also tried searching for this to set the outputs in Logic and it is not recognised there either.
I have just updated my iOS to Yosemite 10.10.2 and also my Logic X does anybody know why my mac is not recognising my USB audio CODEC for an input or output?
Please help.
Thanks

I just posted this problem I had also. The USB audio Codec is for PPC macs only. I couldnt get a PYLE USB cassette deck to work in AUDACITY because it needed that codec.Windows users use this codec for many devices including the one you are trying to connect.
My post in Snow leopard forum:
I have come to the conclusion that this codec only worked on Macs that used PPC chips,not Intel Macs.Apple must have dropped it when switching to Intel.No where on the net can I find anything about this codec on newer mac OS's and newer Macs.
Judging from this user's comment and others,they are working with OSX10.4 or newer OS that has PPC support like the first Mac Pro and other PPC's.I think the comments below answer my own original question.Hope this helps anyone with the same kind of problem with USB devices that need USB audio CODEC.
In Audacity prefs, I selected:
"USB Audio CODEC" for both Input and playback.
I even tried lower sample rates and such. Record button stays grey and readouts don't show any input whatsoever even though I am sending a signal.
Mac is a 533Ghz g4 (Digitial audio) running 10.4.11
It is plug into a USB port on back of machine.

MP4A audio files not support

I download audio lectures from the Stanford.edu web site via iTunes. All appear to be in a MP4A file format and are successfully downloaded to my PC (Windows XP), and transferred to my ZEN 8GB. However, when playing some, but not all, give me a? message: "Audio format is not supported."? Why? And is there any fix?

There are various types of m4a or aac files.
Also different encoders follow different standards...for instance only the most recent nero aac encoder seams to encode m4a files that work with the zen x-fi (most likely the zen also)
iTunes should work also.
m4a files intended for streaming audio seem to not work also.
If the file plays in itunes, try and convert it to mp3.
If you want more information, post what the audio properties are for the file (bit rate, encoding methods...etc)
