SC sounds garbled

hi ,, been running SC for about 4 years
Sc source v1.9.0
server moniter v1.9.8/win32
winxp amd 3000+ 1.81GHz 448mb ram

many times(like right now) i find the sound quality is very poor on the
2 feeds i run ,40kbps & 80kbps
i also run a barix unit at 68kbps on which the sound quality is top quality
anyone have any idea why the sound quality would be garbled?
shoutcast feeds

At first your streams did sound garbled but after a while I reconnected again and sounded fine on the song "Indian Summer Wine - The Bumblebees." and "Waking Souls - Sister Monk Harem." Maybe some of your songs' samplerates are incompatible? Not sure, only a guess. If I'm correct, try making all the songs you have the exact same bitrate and samplerate.

Also, I was unable to connect to the "barix feed" so I wasn't able to compare.

[/EDIT]
Oops, it just went garbled again right in the middle of the song "Waking Souls - Sister Monk Harem" so scratch my previous theory!

Are you running any other plugins on the Winamp/SHOUTcast source?

just the stuff needed to run shoutcast , winamp and the
2 plugins needed , Zara runs the playlist.
barix & 80kbps are on the noted computer.
the 40kbps feed is on a different computer
it is using the 80kbps feed via the internet.
the source is comming from "soundcard input" & 44,100Hz
sorry about the barix source, try without the http://

Since you're using your soundcard as the source, maybe the driver needs updated/reinstalled?

Total guess...

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
