wmp plays windows media format videos with crappy audio

I've tried both wmp 6.4 and 9 on this machine, and it plays divx just fine, but when I play any windows media video from a site, the audio is messed up. I think it's in sync, but it's all compressed and garbly sounding. the machine is using VIA integrated audio and running win2k fully patched.
 
it probably depends on the way the windows media was encoded and what options they used, personally i dislike windows media formats, audio and video.. the audio format (wma) has always sounded bad here even though some people still swear it is better then mp3. i am guessing the audio encoding used in the DivX's you have viewed are not windows media which would explain why they sound ok .. just a guess though. as far as a solution i dont know of one. i have a few friends that can have decent audio playback of windows media files (audio and video) but not until they got a sound card, i think it was a soundblaster 3d. But you can not be sure that will solve the problem either, if you can find the same media in another format it might be a nice fix 😕
