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

It is quite possible that Virtualdub and Soundforge are
decoding your video files using their own private codec
libraries, while it is expected that Windows Media
Player would use the main shared system codec libraries.
...
One approach would be to try reinstalling any other
audio playing or editing software including Virtualdub
and SoundForge. They were probably installed after the
previous OS service pack was installed and may have
beneficially overlaid some of the codecs that came with
your PC.


VirtualDub does not instal any codecs (shared or
otherwise), and has no private codec library. It uses the
ACM (Audio Compression Manager) interface to decode audio.



....which may explain why Virtualdub is not having any codec problems... ;-)
