Windows Media Player 9 Playback Issues

Answer 1

 ost of the time, playback issues in Windows Media Player 9 are caused by one of the following problems:

* Corrupted media. Corrupted media can cause irregular playback such as missing audio or video, abrupt ending, or skipping.

* Damaged codecs. Codecs are software programs that compress and uncompress audio or video data. Damaged codecs can cause problems such as missing audio or video, unusually fast or slow playback, or distortion in the video (such as lines).

To troubleshoot local playback in most scenarios, try to identify the difference between the files that play correctly and the files that do not. If you can play some file types, but you cannot other file types, a codec may be damaged.
