So what did you find when you Goggled for "initializing mci error 277"?

ABDUL BASEER 2022 19-Apr-22 15:52pm

nothing

Dave Kreskowiak 19-Apr-22 17:14pm

Bullshit. Everything I read comes down to a problem with the tags in the file you're trying to play.

So what will b the solution

You didn't read a single one of the results from Google, did you?

i have read and tried every thing even i reset my laptop

Dave Kreskowiak 20-Apr-22 12:24pm

No, you haven't, because the problem seems to be with the metadata tags in the file you're trying to play.

There is nothing in your code that can fix that, nor is there a problem with the O/S, or your hardware.

This is a problem with the file you're trying to play! So get a different file from a different source and try to play that one.

i tried that also
didnt work for me

The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI.

Dave Kreskowiak 20-Apr-22 13:44pm

So are you saying that the error message has changed after trying to play a different file?

ABDUL BASEER 2022 21-Apr-22 6:45am

yes

You're typing as little as possible and that makes it impossible to help you.

What does your code look like?
