Quicktime 10 doesn't always play wav files?

I have loaded Perian to see if it helps and it does not.  Sometimes one or two sound files will lay but then I get nothing.

You need to download and install Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)

  • Cmus doesn't play .wav files and pulseaudio isn't working properly

    The first problem I noticed was that Chromium was using about 90% of my CPU while I wasn't connected to the internet. So I deleted Chromium because I couldn't fix the problem any other way. After deleting Chromium the CPU problem was fixed but after checking htop again I noticed this message with -11 being in red:
    (http://pastie.org/4234521)
    I started using cmus and noticed that .wav files aren't playing anymore but I am not sure if that has anything to do with this issue. Cmus played .wav files just fine when I had Chromium however. Also, RAM is steadily increasing at about 700 MB which never happened before. I think maybe the problem with cmus and the RAM increase could be caused by pulseaudio not working properly?
    Also, when I run "pulseaudio" in the terminal I get this message in red:
    $ pulseaudio
    E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
    E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

    I have stopped using cmus and I am currently using moc(Music On Console). I found out that for some reason pulseaudio is taking up alot of RAM.
    Here is a picture of what is going on in htop:

  • How do you make itunes not play wav files?

    I know how to make it play wav files but how do I remove it from the default player list? I want them to all play in Quicktime. I have done the right click, holt alt and press Always Open With... and also done the right click and specify it to open in Quicktime. I have done this on 3 different Macs with 2 different OSX versions. It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Do you mean, "goes back to iTunes"?  "A wav file," or the same wav file you just changed?
    Did you select the additional option in Get Info's Open With window to, "Change all of this kind to open with Quicktime"?

  • Pre does not play WAV file when received as an attachment via email

    I get my office voicemails emailed to me as an attachment but when I click on the attachment it goes to open the file to play but then it says that there was an error playing the file. Do i have to change a setting? Please help. Thank you!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I spoke to palm support they say they are aware of the problem at this time the pre doesn't support the wav file for voice mail . It is very important to me and I have been using this feature on my blackberry and my palm 755p I don't under stand why they would release a phone and not have the needed software for it .

  • Pure Music software player is not working with iTunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 playing wav. files.

    Pure Music player from Channel D software will not work when playing wav. files after updating to Lion OS. I can open the application as usual but after playing one song it will not advance to the next track either on its own or manually. The scrolling track name goes dim and I cannot get the play button to respond. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Thanks Limnos, but unfortunately the same error still remains.
    The disk was OK.  Permissions had errors along the lines of groups should be 0, is 80.  I repaired that.  Tried again to open, then reinstalled (new download again), but again the same problem.
    I checked permissions again and some of the 0-80 errors came again, but no clear reason from there I think
    Was also a SUID warning on ARDAgent but I see online that doesn't appear to be something abnormal.
    I tried reloading Lion but the installation came back with software appears to have been tampered with (I think the dmg file is gone as I couldn't find it).  I then went to email to report a problem so I could download again but of course that whole process doesn't work because itunes wont open.
    So Stuck
    if there is anything else I might be missing?

  • Quicktime 10.1 not playing .avi files

    My quicktime player isn't playing .avi files properly. I have perian installed and have been playing .avi files on my MacBook Pro fine now for over 2 years. However, I resently installed Lion and it doesn't seem to be working now. I've looked around and it seems there are some bugs with Perian and Lion, however I haven't seen mine. Quicktimes loads, loads the video, I can click anywhere on the timeline and see the video, however when I hit play, it immediately pauses itself and won't play. Sometimes it will play very brieftly, about 1/10 of a second, and then flicker back to paused. Is there any other integrated solution to Perian? Was hoping to not have to get VLC player.

    I had this same problem and someone on here helped me solve it.
    As stated, I did not have any problem and could not duplicate the original poster's problem.
    See if you have DIVX For Mac installed.
    Negative. I do not have any DivX components installed and am using Perian for playback. AVI (DivX5/MP3) files were created using Visual Hub under Snow Leopard. And, if I cannot get Visual Hub to work under Lion (PPC version is not Lion compatible), then I will drop AVI altogether since I only use it to send my sister clips.

  • Play wav file on PDA using JMF

    Hi all,
    I need to play wav files on a PDA so I installed J9 on the PDA and downloaded either JMF crossplatform and JMF for windows (version jmf 2.1.1.e for both of them).
    I included in the classpath the jmf.jar from JMF crossplatform and sound.jar from JMF for windows (the JMF crossplatform doesn't have the sound.jar and jmf.jar requires some classes contained in it).
    When I run my testing application I have such an error:
    Unable to handle format: LINEAR, 8000.0 Hz, 8-bit, Mono, Unsigned, 8000.0 frame rate, Framesize=8 bits
    Failed to prefetch: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@287a287a
    Error: Unable to prefetch com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@287a287a
    I have the same error playing wav files with different features (8 or 16KHz, 8 or 16 bits ).
    Can anyone help me?
    Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance!

    not really I have seen it. The only buyable version left is IBM j9. All the rest basically are sold to handset manufacturers.
    Its hectic out there. I still cant play audio on J9 to build a simple tourist guide!!!!
    javajoom is for wtk21 - hello its 2007.
    Oh well lets toss pda's out of the window along with Microsoft's OS and use smart phone OS - or should I toss J2me and start on C# to be on the safe side???
    Has anyone an answer?

  • How to Play .wav files in Safari?

    Hi:
    I need a little help.
    I would like Safari to play wav files instead of downloading those file to my Downloads folder. Can this be done.
    Thanks,
    -AstraPoint

    Greetings,
    I would like Safari to play wav files instead of downloading those file to my Downloads folder.
    Can this be done?
    Maybe. First, what is the URL for a .wav file you're trying to play in Safari? I want to test this before I say whether or not it will work.

  • Error Playing .wav file on RHEL 4 using JMF

    Hi,
    We are using jmf api to play wav files on our application deployed on rhel version 4. But we are receiving the following error
    **"Cannot find a Processor for: myfolder/myAudio.wav" --->
    this exception is comming from javax.media.Manager
    throw new NoProcessorException("Cannot find a Processor for: " + source);"**.
    Any ideas what could be issue with this, am I missing some drivers/processor for wav files? I did a default jmf studio installation.
    Thanks and Regards

    If we take a look at the supported formats page...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html]
    And the WAV file is supported by the cross-platform pack, AKA, jmf.jar.
    If you're unable to open a WAV file, I'd say it's most likely because you don't have JMF.jar on your library path. You can fix that at runtime with the switch -djava.library.path=<whatever>
    That's what I would say the issue is.

  • Play WAV files into the .jar

    Hello,
    I'm doing small application Java with Netbeans.
    I need is to play .wav file sounds are incorporated into the jar.
    I do not want to use external libraries or external sound files, etc.. I want to go with my .JAR to the office, home, etc ... just need the JAR to hear the sounds.
    I've created a folder "Sounds" in "src" and in that place I have my sounds. (Project / src / sounds). It's a way to incorporate a JAR file, or am I wrong?? Run independently of the sound files.
    At the time of reproducing the sound I do the following:
    Clip sonido = AudioSystem.getClip();
    File f = new File(getClass().getResource(/Sonidos/alarma.wav).toURI());
    sonido.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(f));
    sonido.start();
    If I run the program with netbeans, I play sounds, but which only transfer my .JAR to another computer, does not play ...
    Any ideas?
    Thank's.

    I don't understand, before I had done as you have written me, but did not work, but now it works.
    Problem solved. Thank's.
    Posting the code here:
    InputStream path = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Sonidos/alarma.wav");
    try
    sonido = AudioSystem.getClip();
    sonido.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(path));
    sonido.start();
    }catch(Exception fail)
    System.out.println(fail);

  • 6233 not playing .wav files

    i've purchased new 6233 and the firmware is 4.52 but its not playing .wav files, whereas one of my friend has the same phone with 3.70 firmware and its playing without n e problem.
    n solutions about this.

    Hello.
    Only Series 60,80 and 90 phones running Symbian operating system are capable of playing WAV files. From what I know, Series 40 phones do not display this ability and will not be supported still in future revisions of the said platform.
    Cheers.

  • My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • Can my muvo tx fm play WAV fil

    my question is my problem and if it can what ccan i be doing wrong? plz im trying to get a song i really like but it wont show up on my mp3

    well...i used to have an MuVo TX FM, and i know everything about it !! but now it's broken.
    Anyway, it can play mp3, wma and wav files encoded only in a unique way !
    but i don't think it can play wav files except in the recordings folder, but i don't really encourage that you play wav files in it !
    you can convert wav to mp3 by any converter you get, or download, but for faster conversion use the creative mediasource, it's in any cd you get with any creative mp3 player !!!!
    tell me if it works.
    cheer to all !!!!

  • Can iPod play WAV files
