That is odd. Does it happen with all audio encodes or specific ones?
You don't have crap like CCCP or K-lite installed I hope, stuff like that can seriously screw up a lot of stuff with the funky crap it changes in your registry and installs. Some of it isn't easily fixable.

So all of those have file based volume control? Replay gain would be a decent compromise, but only if levelling is done based on average loudness and not peak loudness.
Windows media player is really bad for this. It only does peak loudness, (Which is terrible because of the massive diversity of my music) and it doesn't support leveling ogg files.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but it seems like the right spot.
Would anyone happen to know of a good free internet accelerator? I'd like to watch videos more, but outside of Youtube my connection can't handle them without having to stop and buffer every couple seconds if I don't pause and wait for it to load, and getting a better connection isn't an option. I'm also not in the best state to afford a paid accelerator.
Icon by Civvi the Civilian!Does anyone have suggestions for a free DVD/Blu-Ray media player for Windows 10?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"So my hard drive got busted and I am trying to see if I can recover it even with the probably bad sectors made by repeatedly failed windows 10 updates.
Meanwhile I am trying to access the secondary drive but my Ubuntu live boot can't mount it for some reason, and instead of risking losing everything I am extracting the images of the secondary drive's partitions.
I don't know if I should replace the damaged hard drive or switch to the secondary one. I am not exactly happy with losing half of my storage capacity but thankfully I've never stored all my data but I don't know if I should buy a replacement hard drive.
I can't afford or have the exact model of the hard drive I lost but has anyone here ever needed to replace a Western Digital hard drive from a laptop with another WD model?
Inter arma enim silent legesIf you want to go really minimal, mplayer always did a perfect job with dvds for me in the past. There are people who offer windows standalone builds of mplayer.

The manufacturer of the drive does not matter. What you need is one that is the same size and interface version.
It is possible your ubuntu cannot mount the drive because it does not have the right driver installed, but I would assume that a live ubuntu has an NTFS driver.
I've already solved it, it was Ubuntu refusing to mount because of the Hybrid boot from Win 10 messing with the partition mounting.
I did a strong disk wipe with all the disk functions I could use in a Live Ubuntu and I am currently trying to see if I can save the disk, but all and all I at least have everything important backed up.
Inter arma enim silent legesHope y'all enjoy having your bank details being easily accessible.
"Yup. That tasted purple."

Ogg, is so "exotic", windows' media player can't play it out of the box. And don't try MIDI files in mplayer default build (your ears will bleed). Most of my library is wma, but I have wav and I need aac support. I also have some avi files.
