[QUOTE="PaganMcLoud, post: 622533, member: 17169"] For the most part... This would be a valid assumption, but ime I've found that a bad codec or one that has been incorrectly configured (either manually by user, or automatically by the software) can indeed have a very noticeable impact, especially in it's degradation of sound quality. The standard codecs in media players, by themselves, have no such issues. It's usually brought about by downloading and installing additional codec packs like K-Lite or SharkCodecs, etc. Having 2 or more of the same codec by different developers can cause system conflicts. A complete uninstall of these "rogue" codec packs instantly solved it for me. I'm not saying this is the exact cause of your issue, but acknowledging that while sound differences are certainly possible... it certainly is not the norm, and usually an indication that something is not working as it should.
