Hello all,

I have been trying to figure out why I can't play 24-bit files in WMP 11.

My reason for playing 24 bit files is because I preview samples that I
use DAW based recording and I've always found WMP to be the easiest and
most convenient way to preview these files. Up until a few weeks ago, I
can't preview these files.

I do know that a within that time frame I updated the drivers for my
sound card and made a few updates on other players I have running on my
system (i.e. Quicktime, Real, VLC, and Beatport). Now, I wrote to
M-Audio tech support (which I have their 1010LT card) and I explained my
problem and they said it's not a hardware problem that it's an issue
with whatever software I am using.  I wrote Microsoft Tech support and
all I got was a list of what error messages I could receive if WMP can't
play a file.

So can anyone tell me if it's possible to play 24-bit files using WMP or
do I have to use another player?  VLC seems to work fine with all files
at all bit rates.  Has anyone else had this issue?

TIA for all who help!
