Not so simple.
Especially with WMP. It's not a great player, to say the least.
I would try a different player first. Try VLC Media Player. If it then plays correctly, you likely have a codec problem. VLC uses it's own codecs and is a good test for player codec problems.
You can try fixing the installed codecs or just use a different player, and bypass WMP.
