WMA codec installed but dbpoweramp keeps saying it's not

[bimmer88]

I have the wma codec installed and have actually used it before. However, for some reason when i try to use it now, it's greyed out and dbpoweramp keeps saying that it's not installed. I even tried reinstalling to fix the problem but no luck... please help... Thanks!

Is everything installed to the same folder? Are you signed in as admin?
Have you installed some other programs related to audio or video which may have messed up anything?

What version of dMC do you have?

Yup, it's installed to the same folder and I am signed in as admin. Don't know of any other programs causing conflicts. I have version 6.0.0.2

What OS are you using and what version of the WMA codec are you trying to install? Also, what version of dMC are you using?

Errr... that might be the Internet Explorer version but I'd like to know your dBpowerAMP Music Converter version. Latest version is R11 and the beta is R11.5 .

Go to dMC Configuration and see what you have.


Also unless you have Windows Xp and WMP 10, you cannot make use of the codec for wma 9.1, you'll only have wma 9.

A little correction: you could be using the player WMP 10, not wma 9.1 which is but one of the wma formats only available when you also have WMP 10.

If you don't have WMP 10 installed, you cannot use the codec wma 9.1, only wma 9.

You can, the dBpowerAMP 9.1 codec has WMA system files included. I don't have WMP10.

Oops, sorry. I was thinking of having Windows XP which is also required in order to have the wma 9.1 code and WMP 10 - somehow I seem to recall this limitation??? :o

Re: WMA codec installed but dbpoweramp keeps saying it's not

You must have XP to be able to install either the WMA 9.1 System Codecs or WMP 10. With an older verison of Windows (98, ME, 2k, etc.) you can only install up to WMP 9 and therefore the WMA 9 System Codecs

Re: WMA codec installed but dbpoweramp keeps saying it's not

Phew! I thought I was losing it completely :D

See, I'm the kind who always has the latest version of whatever installed (as long as it works, that is), so I subconsciously assume that anybody who has XP will have WMP 10 as well - thus wma 9.1 . I couldn't make use of it before, when I was running W 2K - now I'm on XP and the second thing I installed right after all the patches and fixes was WMP10 :D

what am i supposed to be configuring?

Re: WMA codec installed but dbpoweramp keeps saying it's not

I believe you were supposed to be checking your configuration to confirm whether you have any wma codecs correctly installed and what version(s).
