My system:
Athlon XP 2200+
Abit KX7-333
512MB pc2700
Radeon9700 Pro
Hercules Game Theater XP (with latest drivers)
Promise Ultra 100TX2 PCI IDE expansion controller
Realtek 8139 10/100 NIC
Windows XP w/Service Pack 1
The problem:
Whenever I play any of my MP3's the sound always comes out wavy, poppy and otherwise distorted. The problem lies solely in MJ because the same MP3's playback fine in Windows Media Player and Winamp. This has been a problem for awhile and I've never seen anyone post about it. I had the same problem on a prevous system using a different motherboard (so that rules that out), but using my Game Theater XP. Is there a known problem with MJ interfacing with the Game Theater's drivers? I love the sound quality of MJ and can't stand using anything else for audio! One of the early betas of MJ 9 didn't have this problem, but there were other errors so I deleted it. Even after disabling all the sound enhancing features and memory hogging effects, the problem persists. There isn't enough configurability in MJ's MP3 plugin to troubleshoot the problem. TIA
