The Windows Media Player has been the standard Microsoft produced comprehensive media playing solution for the Windows operating system for a number of years. As the software has matured, it has grown to allow you to listen to music, watch movies, and connect in real time with friends and family. Windows Media Player 11 is known to have the media player error code c00d11b1 be displayed and refuse to play any media after upgrading from an older version of the player.
What Can I Do to Fix the Media Player cood11b1 Error?
Most Windows users that get the cood11b1 error find that it doesn’t matter if they were trying to listen to music or watch videos online or via CD when they get the error. The error has been more common for users that used the beta installation of the program, but still persists today. One option that you can choose to do to fix the problem but lose out on the functionality found in the newer versions of Windows Media Player is to revert to an older version of the software.
To remove the current version of Windows Media Player from your computer, you will want to open your computer’s “Control Panel” by choosing the “Start” menu button followed by the “Control Panel” options (This may vary slightly based on your version of Windows). Then choose the “Add/Remove Programs” menu option, and select the “Windows Media Player 11” program icon followed by the “Uninstall” menu button. Before undergoing this step, you will want to locate a legacy version of Windows media player to download and install after removing Windows Media Player 11. Your music and video library “should” remain intact, but I would recommend backing up to a removable media such as a memory stick or portable hard drive before removing the software as well.
The cood11b1 error has also been found to be created during online video or audio streaming with incorrectly configured Windows Media Player proxy settings. You can verify these settings by choosing the “Tools”menu option from the Media Player main menu followed by the “Options” menu choice. Then, choose the “Network” tab and choose the “Configure” menu option followed by the “Autodetect proxy settings” menu button. If you still do not have any luck clearing the error, you can also turn off the “UDP” packet option in the configuration panel.
A hardware solution to check for the cood11b1 error is if the correct audio device is selected for your computer. You will want to choose the “Tools” menu choice followed by the “Options” selection and “Devices” and ensure that “audio for your PC” is selected.
If you still do not have any success clearing the Media Player cood11b1 error, you will want to consider running a full antivirus scan of your computer as a next step to check for larger issues. Still no luck, it may be time to try Windows System restore, or running a registry cleaning software program to try and get a known good configuration on your computer. You will want to make sure that you have made backups of any new data created since your last restore point of taking the first of these two actions.
