hi,
i was looking around on google and found that many others seem to have the
same problem.
The problem actually comes in two parts:
*** I have AVI videos which contain an 8bit PCM sound stream (as recorded by
my camera).
When i play these videos in WMP9 i get a 'swooshing' sound which resembles a
washing machine. First i thought it has to do with the camera, but yesterday
i found out i can get rid of the distortion by switching back sound hardware
acceleration two notches. (Basic Acceleration).
Any one a idea why i have to switch back h/w accerleration and what causes
the 'washing machine sound' ? Codecs ? WMP9 ??
*** MovieMaker2:
When i play my videos as clips in MM2 the sound is fine. But when i put the
clips in the time line and play the clips it sounds very distorted, like MM2
compresses the sound wrong.... high pitch and distortion.
I was reading around and i read that some people say certain codecs may
confuse each other...but this is easier said than done. I dont think that
blindly renaming codecs is a good solution. And, yes, i have both WinDVD5
and PowerDVD5 installed.
The problem is kind of serious because it makes the sound of all my videos
sound horrible, and as it seems it happens *only* ??? in MovieMaker2.
My config:
Win XP SP1, AMD1900+, Radeon8500, DX9a, Cmedia 8738 onboard sound, latest
drivers and bioses etc
