sond problem

[drtom]

I have an IBM desktop, P3 866 with 256mb ram running XPP. Up to now everything works fine.
New problem: when playing a music file that has been copied from a CD to the hard drive I just get noise which is highly muffled and bears no resemblance to that of the song being played. If I play the song directly from the CD it's fine.
Same thing happens if I download a music file as opposed to copying it from a CD.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the soundcard but that didn't do anything.
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks.

Sounds like your sound card driver is corrupted. Uninstall it completely , then reinstall it with the newest drivers for it that you can find.

Are you ripping it unaltered to your hard drive?? If not check your setting for Mp3, wma, etc.. I think this may be a place to start. Maybe try different software for ripping if this is the case.
