sound quality

In my last post I showed off the WavePad Sound Editor application. It allowed for the editing of anything from music to your very own voice. Let’s say that you want to create a song, but you can’t get the timing quite right. Maybe you want to add additional sounds and/or voices. What do you do...

If any of my CDs have the smallest scratch on them, Media Player makes them sound incredibly fuzzy and distorted. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I'm considering downloading an earlier version of WMP but I'm on Windows 7 and I doubt it'll let me.

I have a new HP G60-535dx notebook. It has a built-in webcam. I was very eager to try this on Skype. did their test call, can hear the woman perfectly, but my voice breaks up and is very distorted.checked my driver updates and all are current. I figured i should test my recorder and there is a...

I just installed Windows 7 and it really seems to be quite a good OS, atleast compared to Vista! I'm going to use it as a music player on my netbook with MCE and Logitech remote control, but the problem is that it seems to mess the sound quality somehow. I read that the Windows' kmixer always...

Hi everyone :D I've just installed Windows 7 on this PC but I'm having a very strange problem with the sound. I have an X-fi XtremeMusic PCI card which has worked fine in my old PC for years running on XP. Since installing Windows 7 the sounds are coming out very peculiar. Normal windows...

Hello members, My first comment is that Windows7 Rocks!!! I am running the Win7RC version 7100. I downloaded iTunes and installed some music as well as downloading some tunes from the store. The problem that i am experiencing is that the playback is terrible. Lots of ticks, scratches, skips and...

I am with a problem, still have 200-300 cds to rip and encode into mp3/mpc. Untill Windows 7, I had been using Exact Audio Copy with Lame (--alt preset -standard), but EAC does not work in Windows 7. Windows 7 freezes in a couple of seconds after a rip has been initiated - have tried with the...

I am using the trial version of Audio Mid Recorder and when i record anything from like lets say, youtube or even from a radio station it comes out sounding very thin, as if it was recorded from a pair of head phones. All audio devices seem to be in working order.

About a year and a half ago, I bought my current computer (a Gateway running Vista; the side says "GT5662", so I assume that is the model). I spent two or three weeks installing programs, uninstalling some of the programs it shipped with and altering settings. Now, I'm not computer savvy. I...

I figure here is a good place to put this, if not, please move it to a more appropriate forum. The only problem I've had with Vista and now with 7 is the sound. I'm sure 98% of others are able to look past it and get on with what seems like a great OS. I have an on-board sound card and 5.1...

Conexant AC-97 laptop audio is screwing up. It sounds like a CD that skips CONSTANTLY. Sometimes the sound starts normally and then gradually starts to screw up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers. Does anyone have any ideas?

Alright so I get sound and drivers for the card installs just fine. I install the software the CD has on it like graphics equalizers,EAX settings and all kinds of other sound adjustment stuff. Everything seems to be fine for a few days but after awhile I get error pop ups that say (The audio...

A separate problem I have with audio in WIN7 is a large reduction in sound quality. Regardless of the lack of EQ-ing I mentioned in my other thread, my audio should still have a level of quality to it that just isn't there. Music encoded @ 320kb/s sounds like a poorly encoded 128kb/s. I have...
