If you’re an expert user: Open regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences. You can create DWORD values under here with the names “WMDMPreferredAudioBitrateValue1”, “WMDMPreferredAudioBitrateValue2”, “WMDMPreferredAudioBitrateValue3”, or “WMDMPreferredAudioBitrateValue4”. Those map out to the bps used for the sync, so 320kbps would be 320000. You only need to replace whichever of the four values you want to replace – if you don’t create a registry value with that name, WMP will just use the default sync bitrate settings.
