Everything starts playing mp3 files by itself

[spooky]

I don't know if it's a preview file feature, but it seems like a bug since there're no play/pause buttons anywhere. It happens just by clicking (just once, no double) in a row where there's a mp3 file on it.

Edit: I did more testing, seems random, not all mp3 do it, maybe 50/50 but I can't find a pattern either. Clicking is not necessary, I used the arrow keys of my keyboard and it happens too.

I attached a gif of the bug.

What OS?
What is your "default" media player?


(Something I heard about some sort of "traditional" WMP available on Win11 or some such [as opposed to whatever the default crud might be there] so maybe that is playing [pun ?] into what is happening?)

Windows 10 and the default player of W10, Groove Music I think it's called now.

It's a feature

In Everything, type or paste the following search and press ENTER:

Code: Select all

/winmm=0

If successful, winmm=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

See this thread for more details.

Thank you! I deactivated it, I guess I should delete the post?

Although, if it's a feature, not all mp3 files where playing on my testing, so I guess there's a bug there anyways

So is winmm=0 the defaulted setting?
And if so, how did it get enabled (in this case)?

[void]

The default setting for winmm is 0.

spooky might have accidentally run /winmm=1 from the search box?

I Removed the "[Bug]" part from your title. That will do.
It will be helpful to other people (that is what a forum is about after all: sharing).
