Found this at a web site: My situation is this: i had restarted my computer because it froze, now i can't use "winamp" because the computer tells me that "mmsystem002A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system". by the "Nullsoft waveOUT plug-in v2.02 (x86) in winamp. What should i do? Reply from Duane: The first thing I would do is reinstall winamp and see if that solves the problem. Also do all other sound applications work all right such as wave, midi, etc.? I would also check for a later version of winamp if yours is over 6 months old. Reply from Visitor: My friend and I finally figured out the problem, which did have to do with winamp. When reinstalling it didn't work, He checked some of winamp settings, and found that somehow they had been changed and so were somehow playing Wav's but not Mp3's. I couldn't tell exactly how it got fixed, since my friends figure it out, but if someone else ever asks you about that wierd null soft plug in error message agin, you can tell them to check their winamp settings. thank for your help! Reply from another Visitor: I had the same problem start tonight, but I finally got Winamp to work. I tried reloading same winamp version that I was using, but I still had the same problem. All sound formats would play on other programs like Windows Media Player and Quicktime, but Winamp would not work. I uninstalled my current winamp using Add/Remove programs in Control Panels. I then downloaded and installed the latest version of Winamp (Ver. 264). After installing, go to the main Winamp menu and select "Options" and then "Preferences". You will now see the Winamp Preferences window. Select "Output" under the "Plug-ins" heading. This will allow you to see all of the output plug-ins. Double click on "Nullsoft waveOut plug-in v2.02 (x86) (OUT_WAVE.DLL)" I had to change the value in the upper left-hand box which is labelled "Output device (Wave Mapper is recommended)". The box will say "Wave Mapper", so click on the arrow next to "Wave Mapper" and see if there are any other choices other than "Wave Mapper". I had to switch mine to ESS AudioDrive Playback (220), which is my Yamaha sound card. If anyone else tries this, you will probably see a different value than mine here, but select it anyway. After that, select "Ok" and "Close" to get out of the preferences. I hope this helps.

No,,,i read this- its not just winamp- i just dont have sound un the system.. i get KERNEL32.dll error msg's and "no hardware availabe". .

Post back the error message you are getting. Are there any problems in device manager?

mmsystem002A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system". sometimes i get KERNEL32.dll error no problem in device manger BUT when i look in "multimedia" i see nothing! no SBlive there!

I was looking for the kernel32.dll error message. Any more information on this error message. Goto add/remove programs in control panel and select windows setup tab. Select multimedia and click details. Are all of the components installed here? If you can't correct the problem here I would suggest just reinstalling windows.

this one happens when i try to open avi file with mediaplayer 7 WMPLAYER caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff9e0fb. Registers: and after that one i get: cannot play back the audio stream no audio hardware is available or hardware not responding. i think ill try to install win ME ...
