How come my MPEG-2's audios echo in my old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3's WMP v10?

Hello.

I have some MPEG-2 (.mpg) recordings from my HDTV tuners that I am
playing back. I notice their audios echo. I tried other non-MPEG-2 video
formats (e.g., WMV) and had no problems. I tried messing with WMP's
settings (disabling WoW, SRS, EQ, etc.), latest onboard RealTek's audio
driver's settings (two speakers and a subwoofer), etc. VLC v1.1.11 had
no problems with the same MPEG-2 files.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance. :)

After playing and experimenting more, I noticed the same problem in the
old mplayer2.exe (v6.4) and its settings are limited compared to v10's
(wmplayer.exe).

I hear extra voices like descriptions and reading displayed texts
outloud with the echoes. It is funky! I assume this is for people with
vision problems. I can't figure how to disable this feature in both
Windows Media Players. It is weird/odd that my other players don't have
this feature?

Thank you in advance and happy holidays! ;)
