Windows Media Player problem - Scifi-Meshes.com

**Tovette** · 05-21-2007, 10:54 PM

Okay so I am using Media Player 11 and I've developed this problem I can't seem to figure out how to fix. It goes like this- I play a video and if I click on the time line to skip forward the volume will go to max and I have to adjust the volume slider even though it hasn't moved... If I start the player the volume is fine at the setting it's supposed to be at. But if I skip or scrub the video in the slightest way, the volume flies off the handle. Has anyone experienced this?? I would like some help if possible please

Having seen the huge number of problems with it, I would probably recommend using a different player! It looks like the sound problem is probably driver or codec related. Try upgrading the sound card drivers.

Edit: Looks like Media Player Classic works on Vista, so I would strongly recommend using that instead as it is far superior to the newer WMPs

Yeah I think it could be driver specific too... I'll check Creative's website tonight.

I had some problem with Media Player 11 myself when it arrived . but ended up going back to Media Player 10 where I have had no problems ..

hmmm... am I the only one who has no problems with WMP 11?

You have problems... You just haven't seen them yet

**Darkness** · 05-22-2007, 02:49 PM

The problem is you're actually using it.

Hmm, I didn't have any problems with it either so far. I used to use Winamp, but it would always maximize when I used my next/previous song keys...WMP doesn't do that so I can use the keys while gaming!

How much memory do you have.

I have a gig of RAM. But here's the thing- WMP 11 never used to do this... It's a recent event. It worked fine for a long time and I don't want to roll back to an older version of WMP because with 11 I can connect to my Xbox360 and stream my music from my PC to it.
