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.
