    If I try to play any music with Winamp it doesnt crash but no music plays and the slider doesnt move

    If I try playing any music with WMA it gives an error and closes.

    Whats wrong? Do I need to download some audio codecs?

    Ok, VLC players slider moves, no music plays though.

    I installed the Klite codec mega pack and rebooted after installation.

    Problem fixed, had to disable Bass And Loudness enchancements in the property settings of the speaker icon.

    Thanks for the ideas though people!
