Windows 10: Windows 11 media player .wav files keep buffering

We are having some issues with using .wav files and media player constantly buffering. The .wav files are on the C drive so its not like they need to buffer because these files are being streamed. This issue started happening a couple weeks ago. I have checked the audio drivers and certificates and those are all fine and up to date. I have tried doing clean boots and tried to open files in safe mode but they still have the buffering issue. I don't know if anyone has come across this issue or might have any solutions but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Media Player WAV Files

I have Windows 10 and WAV files will not play on the media player. I need to play the WAV files for work.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Windows Media Player WAV Files

Hi Michele, Microsoft are phasing out Windows Media Player and replacing it with Groove Music . . .

Try opening the WAV files in Groove Music, if you still cannot play these files, download VLC player which is probably the best free 3rd party media player available for Windows:

Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN

 

Windows Media Player 11 in June

Although we have to wait for the new Microsoft Vista OS, new version of Windows Media Player 11 will be available before the end of June. The XP version won't have all the features of its Vista successor, but the company won't say which features will be excluded. I guess we have to wait for a public test version and see what's included. With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC. Another change is the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With the new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices. The biggest no go is that Windows Media Player 11 won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into Apple iPods. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.
