Media player songs out of tune?

Started playing bass again during lockdown and been putting few cover videos on YouTube ( Dozmeister if you interested). Thing is when I play along to some songs off windows media files I seem slightly out of tune (which I am not) yet if I play the same song on YouTube it's fine! Any ideas why?

Maybe you have an effect or EQ going on in your WM player. I'm not really familiar with WMP, or do you use another program to play your files?

Hi, it sounds like a problem with the drivers for the audio interface/soundcard. I have a Tascam us-1641 interface and if I work in my DAW and then closes the DAW and listens to wav-files the mediaplayer plays the file just a little slower and the song gets out of tune. I solve this by restarting the interface. In my case I think it's a driver/win10-issue.
Try to find the latest interfacedrivers for your OS. otherwise restart/unplug-plug interface might "fix" the problem

FMAMMY Yes it seems that some of the files I have on media player are slightly faster than they should be, not noticeable unless I play along to them! I don't know where I got the files from the original CD rips or vinyl using a cd recorder pre computer days. No problem now as I will just source songs at the correct speed.
