I use the Media Player Classic K-Lite Codec Pack Mega (version 20.1.0 Mega, ~65.4 MB, dated October 18, 2026).
When I open video recordings/files, quite often (though it happens occasionally, not every single time), there is complete silence for the first second—specifically between 00:00 and 00:01. The audio only "kicks in" properly and begins to play as expected after that first second has passed. It should be audible right from the very beginning (00:00).
It’s inconsistent—sometimes I open a recording and the sound works perfectly from the very beginning (00:00), but five minutes later, I open a recording and it’s faulty again, with the sound only kicking in after 00:01. Then, five minutes after that, I open another recording and it works fine from the start—and so on.
Could it be due to an update? Do you also experience this sometimes?

I think it's a Windows thing, putting the Sound Card in a Sleep state.
I have the same with foobar2000, but only on a fresh boot and a fresh instance of foobar2000..., after initialization, it works as expected.
You might check MPC settings for a Keep Audio Alive setting of some sort..., or try WASAPI Exclusive mode.
