Windows Media Player distortion

[synapsevampire]

Windows XP SP2

Suddenly my Windows Media Player version 10 started distorting all sound, music and videos.

Other programs sound fine.

I tried upgrading to version 11, same thing.

Itunes plays just fine, and my recording software sounds OK, I assume it's codec related or some such.

Any thoughts?

Keep in mind that the exact same songs were playing fine a few days ago, and other programs sound fine, so it isn't hardware related.

Thanks for your time.

Is realplayer or something similar installed as well? Maybe there is more than one media player running.

If it were another program one would think that other programs would then distort as well.

Guess it isn't a known issue, I'll have to try uninstalling and reinstalling.
