First you need to find out the format or extension of the files which can't be played. After identifying the format, you can search for the codec. K-Lite Codec Pack consists most of the used and up to dates codecs.

Click here for K-Lite Codec Pack
Check whether it has the codecs you need before downloading. If not, just state the file format here and i'll try to find it for you.

Why is WMP way below avg??? That's what I've been using playing all the files I got like MKV and OGM heh I think it ain't no average to me hmm...
Well now I got a ques will it hurt to install FFDSHOW or affect the previously installed Matroska Splitter and OGG Splitter and all that... And what I've learned from the PC forum [H]ardocp it is not always pretty installing codec packs...

WMP? Do you mean Windows Media Player? To me, the WMP Classics works better and more stable than the WMP series v9 and above. There are a lot of players other than WMP, but their major difference is the function so nothing to worry about. About installing a new codec, it's true that sometimes it may cause conflict with other codecs so you should check properly. Since you said the PC forum does not agree with that, then you shouldn't install it. Well, i am no technical expert so i just said them based on my experience.

Did you check your speakers volume knob and the Windows Audio Controls?
