Problem with windows media player 11

Heya,
I've recently gotten WMP11, opened it and indexed my library, it was great; till that is, I tried to play something, this was the result:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.

My audio is FINE for EVERYTHING else, just not wmp11, I have included what "Belarc" told me about my computer, sorry for wall of text, i'm just not very computer savvy .

Any light anyone can shed on the matter would be fantastic, as i've quite fallen in love for the library feature on WMP11

Try deleting it from control panel (add and remove programs) then download it and re-install it.

thats how i got it to work for me (but i didnt like it and went back to Media Player 10 )

Hope this helps!
