Title: quicktime
Post by: media on April 02, 2006, 05:06:46 PM

whenever i try to watch quicktime files or listen to quicktime files the audio on them never works, ive downloaded the newest free version of it and it still doesnt work. i removed it completely and reinstalled and it still doesnt work, windows media player works fine with audio or any other media player i have on my computer, its only quicktime. also, i noticed if i download the file and play it through a different media player it works fine. i know its not just the streaming problem because when i download it and try to play it, it still doesnt have audio, i checked the preferences in audio and they seem to be where they should be. please help me /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

I haven't tried it myself, but have you tried uninstalling Quicktime and tried
QuickTime Alternative (http://\"http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm\")?

Chances are that when you installed Quicktime or unistalled a related program
The related codecs got corrupt or not installed
How do you like Quicktiime Alernative?
Would you recommend it???
