Mp3 widgets Sound problem

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi, i sent a few mp3 player widgets (that I exported as gadgets)to my sister and they worked fine but now all of a sudden the sound doesn't work. Nothing is wrong with her computer. My friend is a technicien checked. If you open a song with Windows media player the sound if fine. Just no sound with any of the gadgets. They work fine on my side.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

Well i found the problem. It seems that one of the 3 widgets i sent her had a volume bar, she tried it and when closed it, the sound bar was at it's lowest position, so when she opened any other widget player, she had no sound. Once i re-opened the widget with the sound bar and put the volume up, everything worked fine. It seems like the widgets are like co-dependant or something. Anyways, thought i would let people know so if it happens to someone else, the answer is here.

That's because almost all DesktopX MP3 players are based on Object Media(DXPlayer.dll) and this is what is really being set by the gadget.  And, of course Object Media remembers it's settings.  These can be cleared and reset to default by clearing the DX cache.  Since I use DX alot I from time to time do this to fix bugs in themes and gadgets that sometimes occur. 

Anyway, right you are! :thumbsup:
