what r u using to play ur mp3's?

What speed is your computer? If it's ultra slow, it may sound good in mono because it has less instructions to decode the sound, and worst in Stereo because your CPU can't handle the pace of decoding in full stereo quality. This could be the problem.

k i hope this sample of wat it sounds like works

I listened to your sample, but I have no idea what could cause that. Just make sure you have the latest software of everyhing I guess. Apart from that, maybe your computer's just absolutely...

when was the last time you defragged your hard drive? Try that, also totally uninstall winamp and get the newest version. 2.74 I believe. Do all your mp3's sound this way? Or is it just that one? Does all the other sounds your computer play (besides mp3's) sound this way too? If it does, maybe your sound card is fried.

where would i go to do that

Posted by RichieRich on Apr-25-2001 16:45:

First you have to know what brand of sound card you have. Then go to the manufacturer's web site, find your card on the site and find new drivers. I redid my computer about 6 months ago and I got awesome new drivers for my soundblaster and it is very old. Made it new again. Peace
