Very fast stream at 96kbps

[Miasma]

I have tested my stream before and it has worked fine, I am useing Encoder 3 and I have an SB Audigy 2 sc.

When connecting to our server (after another DJ gets offair) listeners complain that my stream is too fast (chimpmunks). I have been onair before, and it has been perfect. I dunno what the problem is.

Any help/ideas?

I also have this problem. my stream is linked at http://www.petroang.com/antron.pls
it sounds fine on this end but when people listen, it sounds all sped up like it's going twice as fast as normal. I noticed that my intro file plays normally... hey... wait.. is my intro file the wrong bitrate??? omg that's it isn't it... heh I'll go change it and then check if that works, if it does, I'll let everyone know, wow, just asking a question sometimes gets your brain working, eh?

Okay, listen in to http://www.petrofang.com/antron.pls and if it sounds fine, that's the solution. The intro file needs to be the same bandwidth as the stream. I had a 56k stream with a 128k intro file, and so the stream started at 128k and then started reading 56k stream, that's what made it sound sped up, exactly like playing a 33 at 78 rpm..

what you'd need to is get a CD ripper that also does wavs, take you intro file, decompress it to wav, and then re-encode it to mp3 with at the same bitrate that your stream is (in my case, 56k) .. maybe that one guy from brazil that's been listening for the last couple days likes alvin and the chipmonks?

The intro file needs to be the same bandwidth as the stream.

Nope.
