wmplayer.exe CPU usage above 50

[MadMatt]

I've search all other threads but I can't find how to solve this problem I've been having.

I use Windows 7 build 7600.16385 and WMP 12.0.7600.16415. I've been using a headphone with built-in mic with two 3.5mm jack interface, black and pink jacks. It's all normal since I fresh installed Windows 7 until recently I unplugged my headphone for cleaning. When I plug it back again, wmplayer.exe cpu usage is 30-40 without playing any media, when it's playing mp3 and other audio files it spikes up to 50-60 cpu usage.

I tried to unplugged it and plug it again, restart, safe mode, but still no luck so far. Help please.

Guess it can't be helped, eh?

Wouldnt this go under software or something?

I dunno.
