ID: Q227823

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Sndrec32.exe utility to record a .wav file, and then play back the .wav file using the Mplay32.exe or the Mplayer2.exe utilities, you may be unable to hear the recorded audio.


CAUSE

This issue can occur if the sound card driver does not have wave (.wav) input. Because of this, the audio is recorded through the microphone at a very low volume, possibly making it difficult to hear.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, contact your sound card manufacturer to inquire about the availability of a fix for this issue.
