Check if your speaker, cable or sound ports are broken

Re: media player 11 has horrible sound

no the speakers are new...turns out i found a way to fix the problem...on options >speakers i found the device controller was set on default card and not my card so i changed it to my sound card and now the sound is proper...
anyhow i was wondering if there is a plug in or add on for media player that places the player on the windows bar on the bottom but yet not as a button but in a way that u can can control it without having to mximize it again (in a way like winamp does) ..that would be cool ...also is ther anyway to customise the white background behind the media library screen ( to put something like a picture -background) ?
thanx

Re: media player 11 has horrible sound

Yes, it exists - its built in

Make sure you have a fairly recent media player version (11 is current)

then minimize it and right click on the bar at the bottom of the screen (where start etc is) and choose Toolbars and put a tick next to windows media player. Then when you minimize it it will look like in the pic below.
