Hi, I have been having an audio problem for a while now. I have posted to a few groups, and yet to find the fix. It seems to be software related. When I play a wav or mp3 file with the standard MS media player(I have tried ver 6 and 7) the sound is totally distorted... not just clipping ...but noise! Same thing with the windows sounds ... total distortion When I play the same files with my Cakewalk audio program, it sounds perfect. I have tried to reload windows in the hope that it would reload some corrupted driver or codec or something No dice... I have reinstalled my sound card Ensoniq (SB PCI 64) No dice... I tried removing any audio reference in the registry, and reinstall windows... No dice... I tried to use system file checker and search for a corrupted file No dice... Anyone have any dice? Thanks in advance HJ

Only thing I can think of off hand, is if your Multimedia Settings allow adjustment for Bass/Treble. If these are maxed out, it could cause clipping, but not sure why it would only happen with some clients. -- bnez mynameabove@geocities.com

Thx for the suggestions... Still not working. 1 Winamp still has problem 2 There is no treble and bass control on this card. I must have a corrupt file somewhere... I don't know how else to find it. I really don't want to wipe my drive and do a fresh install! Normally audio is not so important... in fact I turned off all those annoying windows sounds ages ago.... but I am a musician and audio is quite important. Good thing my Cakewalk audio program still performs without distortion.
