WMP 11 won't play CD's without a loud choppy sound with the audio

Hello,

On a new install of XP SP3 I added WMP 11.
Soundcard is an old Soundblaster Audigy but always ran fine in my old
machine.

When I try to play any CD I can hear the audio in the background but a
loud chopping type noise over rides it.

I have never added any codecs of any kind, it's my understanding you
get the correct ones with the player.

I have 2 DVD drives and the result is the same in either drive.

However Winamp will play the same CD just fine.


Thoughts anyone?

Also I notice that Nero Showtime locks up and won't run at all I am
wondering if there is some connection between the two.

Thank you,

Accomac

After removal of WMP 11 the problem remains the same in WMP 10...

Does switching to digital mode in WMP's Tools:Optionsevices for that CD
drive help?
