xp sp2 volume bug !

In windows media player 9 (or zoomplayer, bsplayer etc.), if the volume is
turned down any in the player, when you move the progress slider, it makes
the volume come out at maximum unless you touch the volume slider again.

Example, I have something turned down to 50. If I skip forward or something,
it plays the volume at 100. Rather annoying

anyone else experiencing this?
was not like this prior to installing sp2

If this behavior is common across three different players, it could be a
number of things.

First, the most obvious would be sound card drivers. One of the
prerequisites to installing any new OS or major service pack is to check for
updated hardware drivers.

Second, it could be the result of a bad SP2 installation. If you had any
anti-virus or other programs running during the upgrade, this can cause
problrms for the installation program when it tries to replace files that
might be in use.

Third, it could be a legitimate bug in SP2. You might want to post back to
this thread exactly what you find when troubleshooting this behavior.
