Winamp from v1.92 up adds distortion on playback

I am running Winamp 2.62. I have a PIII500. I noticed distortion added to quiet portions of songs, ie the start of Breakaway by Art Garfunckel and the start of A Spaceman came Travelling by Chris De Burgh. I initially noticed this on the MP3s but went back to a wav extracted by Exact Audio Copy. No problem on playback with media player or DCArt. I looked at the wav file and could see no visible distortion. On a whim I tried versions 2.5E, 2.23 and 1.92. Surprisingly the problem went away in version 1.92. I noticed that in a separate post you told someone that the problem with glitches was with their slow machine. I don't think that applies in this case.

Abe Corrie

Not to insult your winamp knowledge, but it really helps out if you go through every setting in winamp, (EVERY SETTING) and turn it up to the highest setting, priority, etc, etc...

I've used it for some time now but rarely gone into the more detailed settings. Here are my current settings, (sorry but I don't know how to attach in here), I would welcome any suggestions.

Regards,
AC
