System specs. 512MB Ram, 80 GB HD, Pentium 4, 2.8GHz, CD-RW drive and DVD+/- RW drive. I doubt that the system is inadaquate.
Since I paid for MJ V8, I'd like to make it work, (or at least understand why it won't) instead of using Media Center 11.
I have tried several adjustments to Playback Options: Direct Sound, Wave Out, Various settings of Bit depth, Performance = More responsive or More skip resistant. None of these helped.
What do you mean by "turn off DSP"? I went to Player>DSP Studio, and unchecked the three choices. I also changed Overflow Handling. Nothing changed the sound while playing this file. If this did not turn off DSP, let me know how to do that.
I should also point out that I have no problem playing many other mp3 files with MJ8, and they sound very nice. It must be something about this particular file which MJ8 doesn't like. But, as I said before, other players play it well.
