Live365 and winamp problem
 

I searched as well as i could, hope this hasn't been covered. If so please understand I didn't see it.

I am using a creative 4.1 system with an audigy 2 SB. Never had a single problem with this setup until now.

I d/l'd winamp to listen to live 365 as an alternative to thier pro player. Upon listening to some trancy techno, I noticed the front 2 channels were getting some distortion in the high frequencies. It only occurs with winamp. It's a popping fuzzy click... as if the speakers were blown but they aren't. My first recourse was to switch the front 2 channel speakers with the rear 2, and the front 2 channels still were distorted. This rules out speakers being blown (and anyway they sound fine outside winamp.)

I have updated drivers.

Anyone have an idea whats going on here?

Thanks for your time.

Hi. What's your Windows OS and DirectX version?

Have you tried the DirectSound Output tweaks from the FAQ?

No sound, skippy/choppy/crackly playback, high VM usage, etc.

I figured out the problem. In Live365 there is a little button to the right... its pretty easy to overlook, called listen settings.

I had to change the setting there from radio365 (or player365) to "MP3 Player – iTunes, MusicMatch, Winamp or similar". Works great now :)

Sorry to have bothered you, winamp is a great product.

Ahhh. Ok... cool!
