I tried one other thing. I can add wav files to the iTunes
library and they will play, but there is the same "pop" as
when listening to iTunes video files. So, does iTunes
handle audio files differently than WMP10? Doesn't this
mean there is a problem with audio system files?

I have a strange audio problem that I have not been able
to fix. I'm working on a Sony Viao PCV-MXS20 running
Home edition SP2. Here's the deal.

I can play an audio CD with no problems. I can play
internet radio stations with no problem. I can play
iTunes video, though the audio has an occasional "pop."
I cannot play any wav files. DVDs show video, but no
audio.

I have uninstalled all media programs except iTunes and
Windows Media Player 10. I also uninstalled all DVD/CD
writing software and reinstalled only the DVD player
software that came with the computer. I have remove and
reinstalled the sound card. I have uninstalled and
reinstalled the DVD drive with current drivers. When I
reinstalled WMP10 I got one wav file to play, though it
was a stream from the internet. After inserting a DVD I
was not able to get any other wav files to play. The DVD
had no audio either. If have also installed all Codecs
that I could find.

I believe this must be a software issue. Is it a Windows
system file problem? If so, can I fix it without
reinstalling windows?

I can't say anything about Itunes or WMP10 because I chose to
avoid them and thus don't have them on my computer. I don't know
how true it was, but there were rumors about Itunes and WMP10
creating problems and I was happy with version 9, so I just took
a pass on them.

I think I might suggest, however, uninstalling Itunes and WMP10
to see what happens. IFF that fixes anything, then you could try
reinstalling them one at a time, if you have them as separate
downloads, and see what happens.
I think it's possible they may be the source of whatever
conflict is occurring in your system. But then lots of things
are possible<g>. Sometimes just an uninstall and reinstall are
enough to straighten out problems like this.

Let us know how you make out.

HTH,
Pop
