So am I! (where did I mention Media Player?)
The sound scheme in the Default user comes into play before the windows
logon is completed, and depending on your sound drivers can last until the
quite late in the screen refresh after the logion is completed - This has
NOTHING to do with WMP!
Try this - not sure whether it'll work or not....
Reboot, and instead of logging on, cancel the logon request (if there's no
logon request, once rebooted, use the Logoff... option at the Start button)
then adjust the settings there - reboot again and see if that makes any
difference.
