Hi everyone,

I've been having a problem with Windows Media Player. Basically, I'm using headphones and can only get sound in my right headphone speaker. Sound works perfectly in all other applications, including games, Windows Media Player Classic, iTunes, etc. I've tried rolling back WMP to version 9, upgrading to 11 beta, but no luck.

My motherboard has an integrated sound card which I'm using. According to Windows Update, I've got the latest SoundMAX driver installed, and the devices panel doesn't show any incompatibilities or anything. I've messed around everything I can think of that's related to sound and volume, but nothing makes a difference.

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. :)

      I'm not a fan of the HP "Smart" app either, but it does work. I just wish I didn't have to log in to use it. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301

    • hi my Hard drive has only got 100 gig left on it

      You might want to update to 1TB drive.  They are not very expensive these days, there are plenty of options - simple look I would think you could find a 1TB ssd or even nvme somewhere between 50 and 100 bucks. when I have moved to larger ssds in laptop in the past, you can just connect the drive via usb - image.  Then take the old drive out, put in the new drive and there you go..  If your concerned about how much space you have left this prob your best bet..
