You cant do anything about that. I hated it when I used my laptop in the kitchen to watch because of the sinc problem. I was told it was the bus speed that caused that.

Try adjusting the sound in the media player or your computers sound. It may also be the sound card.

Try reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

Do you mean the sound coming from your speakers sounds like chipmunks? If so, you probably need to update your sound card driver. \n\nEasiest thing to try is open Internet Explorer, click on "Tools", then "Windows Update". Once there, check on the left side to see if there are any hardware driver updates for you machine. Windows update makes it very easy to update drivers if they are available through this method.

do you have a coaxial out on the audio card? it looks like an RCA jack. also see if you need to check a box in the audio card software to enable digital audio out

Go to your setup in windows media and make it the default player.\n\nI hope this helps

After checking the plug on the back of your pc and making sure the speakers are connected properly do the following:\n\nRight click "my computer" click properties, go to the hardware tab and click "device manager"\n\nUnder the heading "sound, video, and game controllers" do you see any yellow bangs or errors?  If you don't then your sound device is fine and you should check your sound settings in the control panel.  Something may be muted or turned too low.\n\nIf there are errors then it means the sound driver is corrupted or needs to be replaced.  You need an updated driver.  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your pc or motherboard and look in support for a sound driver.  Sound drivers usually come in an installable package that makes it easy to install.\n\nIf you still have problems you could have a damaged and corrupted file, sound card, or some type of incompatibility issue.  At that point post another question with more details about your machine and we'll see if we can help you some more. :)

Try this: get a codec.\n\nAn example is the Divx codec.

Your video feed is out of sync with your audio feed. \n\nI'm not sure what player you use, but Media Player Classic has the option of synching sound to video. You could try that.

Do you mean you have BOTH a CD Player and a DVD player?\n\nIf so it may be that only the CD player has had it's audio cable connected, look inside your PC, and see if there are one or twp 'thin' grey or black wires coming from the small 4 pin plug at the back of them, and going to your sound card.\n\nAlso check you MAIN volume control and check that the input for this is enabled - you will find that in the Control Panel under Sounds & Audio Devices, you should get maybe a 6 or 8 channel mixer appear, check the the MUTE checkbox is clear.

0x80004005 is a direct play general failure error. \n\nDX 9.0c - DirectPlay has been depreciated (no longer in use or supported) by microsoft.\n\nThe first thing to try, while fixing this problem is to re-install your sound driver and direct play device driver. After that, run Direct X setup again. Also, open a run box and type dxdiag (Start/Run, type DXdiag). Run the Sound tests to make sure the drivers are working together. Good luck

Unfortuantly media player is quite tightly tied into Windows.\n\nIf upgrading / downgrading / uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't work then you only have one choice...\n\nReinstall the OS.\n\nI had a very similar problem, and that was the only way to resolve the issue.\n\nAlternativly you could switch to RealPlayer which will play all the same formats and more.

are you sure it's not the speakers. If you have a headset around, swap'em and make sure. If you installed this sound card because your onboard (intergrated) audio went bad, then make sure you disable it in the bios. Does the distortion happen when you logon to windows (windows startup sound) or does it only happen when your playing a specific game, movie, or software? You say when playing mp3's, how did you get the mp3's? sometimes DRM (digital rights management) software will cause this to occur.
