Is it a Soundblaster? WMP does not interact well with their
products/drivers. Try this:
1. In WMP go to Tools > Options >Devices
2. Click on Speakers, then the Properties button
3. Change the device from whatever is listed to "Default DirectSound
Device" (or if it is that already, change it to the other listed item
matching your soundcard). |
