WMPlayer open a song slowly after 5 sec with status "Media changin

[jonlee]

Hi,

I use Windows Media Player11 comming up with my VAIO. (Win Vista Home)
It happens to every songs with every format that after I click on a song, It
will play after 4 or 5 secons with the WMP Status: "Media Changing..." (In
comparision to VLC or Winamp it plays a song immediately)

And in the end of the song, WMP plays the song not very continously for 3
seconds (like a stop and go and stop and go)

Any suggestion?
Thank you very much

Install Codecs. It sounds as if WMP is searching online for the codec to
play the media. Install KLite, Vista Codec Pack, CCCP, and/or AC3Filter to
resolve this.

Try turning off all enhancements on the Enhancements tab of the Properties page
for Speakers in Control Panel (Classic view) > Sounds.

It's not the problem with codec.

I found out myself that I should turn off the Systemeeffekte in Sound
Speaker configuration if you use a Sound card like comming from Sigma Tel
Hightech.

Thank you for your help

No, that wouldn't be possible. A codec is a key to a file. If the file
plays, you clearly have that "key" already on the system.

The only time when WMP searches for a codec but then the file will still
play is if a broken codec is already on the system. Throwing yet more
codecs on the system would be grieviously counterproductive.

All four of the pieces of third party software you named have been shown to
cause serious problems (I've worked with the first three to fix up their
issues so hopefully they're better now, but they still have caused horrible
pains for the multimedia experience). Please be careful: codec packs are
generally a really bad idea. "Not using codec packs" is pretty much the
single best piece of advice available for multimedia users. =\

is a generally up to date list of problems. Right now that ignores stuff
like packs that corrupt or munge Windows / Windows Media Player settings,
which also is not helpful, but if that were the only problem here I'd jump
for joy. =\
