Free trial versions of Movavi Screen Recorder are available for both Windows and Mac. Both versions allow you to adjust recording parameters and store screen captures in MP4, MKV, and other popular file formats. The app also provides editing tools that even the most inexperienced user can handle.
Windows Media Player won't play any sound because of various reasons, but you should be in a position to fix it if and when it occurs. However, it is reasonable to make sure the problem is with the software, and not with your media.
Now you have the codecs installed, but there is still no sound from the sound system. Your media player itself may have developed complications. Whether from viruses or faulty drivers, you have no choice but to uninstall it from the system and install the latest version.
The problem of the audio not working on your computer could be a result of outdated sound drivers. So, if all other remedies fail, you will have to update your audio drivers. To do this, follow the steps below:
If you have exhausted all software solutions to no effect, then you might have a hardware problem. Try plugging in different headphones or speakers. If the audio is not working with any of these devices, there is a chance your audio port needs repairs.
Windows Media Player is a part of the package for almost any available version of the OS by Microsoft, from Windows XP and Vista to Windows 7 and newer. Thus, Windows Media Player not playing the sound is a quite common issue with a plethora of solutions. In this article, we have covered the most widespread issues:

So I've encountered this bug multiple times already. The video plays just fine in the preview. Once I export a video, the exported video just freezes at a very specific point, the audio keeps going just fine. The video unfreezes at a specific point and this goes on even though I tried a lot of things and no matter how many times I've exported it. I know this is a bug and not a problem with my computer because I've made similar or even more demanding videos and they exported just fine.
You might be using either version 4.05 or 4.08. I remember like the back of my hand that I experienced periodical freezes on my videos when I used these versions of the software. This issue was fixed from 4.10 onwards and has never reappeared as of 5.01.
Well, I worked my way around the issue by using a static image since the main purpose of the video was just to show a song. The problem hasn't come back on other videos. I still have no idea why this is a thing though.
Exported to an ISO file here using default settings and couldn't spot a freeze. Here's that ISO, which can be burned to DVD.
To test it, right-clickedBURN TO DVD was chosen (Windows 10). The DVD disc did not freeze during the 4:45-6:00 segment.
You have multiple people all talking about the same thing... just look at the titles of the last 25-50 posts in this forum. After render we're getting either frozen or blank or combination of things.
How many people will have to complain? Are you telling us that it's all on us to PROVE to you this is happening? If it's different on your system but we're having an issue then that's still not on us.
I just took a WORKING video combined from two other videos. I did nothing to it but change the entire 5 min video to cartoon. Sure enough, it gets to the first edit and boom...frozen. If this is a frame rate issue, then you should be able to provide quick guidance for a work around. I'm not going to spend the next few hours playing with all the frame rates vs. quality to determine what might work.
Given how little the software is updated these days and the consistent low quality of the recent updates, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is beginning to wonder what your competitors are doing. I've been using VideoPad Pro for nearly 3 years and I loved it. But my frustration is starting to overtake my loyalty. I don't want to change but I'm tired of spending hours on the edit only to blow up on the render. Really tired of it.
Please read the last two posts. We've reproduced the issue (thanks to @GTCulbreth uploading the files) and working on the issue. We can't fix anything if we don't know what's wrong. It would be helpful if you could provide more information e.g. what format you exported to and the codec settings etc..
The avi file is the source material. The problem doesn't appear if the video is untampered and exported as a whole, but it arises when I cut it and copy paste it a dozen of times as seen in the exported video.
The original file displayed no video when opened with several other media players. The same occurred in another editing program, with this error message. This hints that VP may be the more forgiving of an apparently non-standard file.
As stated in other responses, ROKU makes great products, but for some strange reason they refuse to do as they should for their customers and provided support for ALL common audio & video CODECs that may be needed. For example, I don't think any ROKU has ever supported .AVI files. But I'm fine with that since .AVI files seem to problematic in some ways. What I am not fine with is the following...
I have many files (some .MP4 and some .MKV) that play fine on my fairly new ROKU TV (less than 2 years old), but on my friends very old ROKU Ultra (probably the first version of it I assume), if those files were encoded as HEVC (high efficiency video codec) h.265 instead of h.264, the video plays, but not the audio. At least that's what it seems like from my troubleshooting, but I'm pretty sure it is really the settings of just the audio portion of the program that was used to encode the file. ROKU just doesn't know how to deal with certain things because they did not give it all of the CODECs they need to to make it work with all possible combinations of audio and video CODECs. ROKU sucks for that.
And ROKU also sucks for not wanting to adopt (at the very least for its newer devices) the new AV1 video CODEC, which provides better streaming performance and quality. This was/is a major part of ROKU and Google/YouTube's dispute), because YouTube is going full in on the new AV1 CODEC because of it's improvements. This means that even if ROKU devices do allow for the YouTube App to be installed on it's devices, some content might not stream anymore because of ROKU's lack of keeping up with the times. At least that's my understanding of it all.
Every 4K capable Roku device can play H.265 video. This includes the Roku 4 which predates all of the Ultra models. As you stated, the video plays. So there's no issue with the video codec. What your media probably has is one of the lossless audio codecs (Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio). No Roku supports either audio codec, so you won't hear anything from those codecs.
As to AV1, I have no doubt it's coming. I don't know if it can be supported with a software update, or if it's hardware dependent. The latest Ultra (4800) already has AV1 support in the MP4 and MKV containers.
That's exactly the problem with ROKU, they do not care about this issue obviously. They've known about it for ages and refuse to give us what we need. I've recommended people buy the Ultra to play their library of movie and TV files, only to be embarrassed because many do not play the audio portion, and the people I recommended the ROKUs to are now pissed at me because of ROKU's lameness.
I would have to see the media contents of the file, to see what codecs are in use. Without knowing that, I can only guess. There is a free program called MediaInfo that can provide a list of the contents of almost any media file. You can post the results here, and we can quickly determine if there's an unsupported codec.
I have more problems first my ultra refuses to play MKV formatted files vi a USB so I purchased a video converter specifically Movavi I am selecting a MP3 or AAC codec but becouse the file has two voice track one in Russian and one in English this time my audio is combining both audio tracks, this getting to complicated for me any suggestions.
