is it a drm protected? if you downloaded it from a major music retail website it's more than likely that they have drm protection on it(i've seen it on wma files before) and i doubt vlc can play it.
another reason maybe you don't have all the necessary gstreamer/ffmpeg files installed.
try to play it with mplayer from the command line and let us know the output.

Hi everyone
I still can't play a wma file. In vlc the marker moves along as if it's playing but no sound emerges. mp3's play fine on just about everything so I'm sure the sound system os OK. Ive tried deleting the packman vlc and installing the videolan vlc but still the problems persist. Perhaps I'm missing something simple.
11.3 updated today.
I had exactly the same problem earlier today, and found out that the cause is outdated or mixed between packman and videolan versions of libffmpeg-devel, libavutil50, libavfilter1, libavcore0 and libavdevice52. I updated them to the videolan version and everything now works fine.
Thanks so much L x

Unfortunately libavfilter1, libavcore0 and libavdevice52 don't seem to be in the videolan repo. I changed the system files to the Videolan repo but unfortunately still cant play wma's
