Default Audio has issues with Windows Media Player but not in Virtualdubor SoundForge.

I'm including RAP since I imagine you've run into audio issues with
Windows. I'm having an oddball problem I've never encountered before.
Running XP Pro SP3, I find that when I play video with Windows Media
Player there's static & popping in the audio. The same video plays
fine in Virtualdub and with SoundForge.

I tried uninstalling WMP and reinstalling, seemed to work at first but
then developed the same issue.

It used to work fine on this Windows install, the issue seems to have
cropped up recently. What's the difference between how VirtualDub and
SoundForge accesses/plays video audio and how WMP plays it?

This is the first time I've run into this. I had some problems with
DRM wmv video that I initially thought was the fault of the file, but
now I sense the bug is in the system.

I'd like to solve this without doing an O/S reinstall. Any input will
be appreciated.


Use the program "GSpot", to check what CODEC is being requested for audio
in the movie.
