Yes, that often happens with "data recovery" and media files. Corruption.

Literally, the only thing you can do is go through ALL of them and find the ones that play correctly.

Whatever caused the initial problem to prompt you into "drive recovery" screwed all those files.

Recovery like that is never 100%.
