Fix Garbled Music
Your music not sounding its best? The most likely candidate is an ???enhancement???
in your music player; sometimes these just don??™t play nice with
Vista??™s audio drivers.
In Windows Media Player, press the Alt key to open the menu, and select
View ??? Enhancements ??? Graphic Equalizer. In the Enhancements pane
that appears, click the Turn off link that appears (if the link says Turn On,
the equalizer is already turned off). Next, return to the Enhancements
menu, select SRS WOW Effects, and click the Turn off link there as well.

If you??™re having this problem in iTunes, select View ??? Show Equalizer, and
clear the checkbox next to the On option. Next, select Edit ??? Preferences,
choose the Playback tab, and turn off the Sound Enhancer option. Click OK
when you??™re done.
Or, in WinAmp, select Options ??? Equalizer, and if there??™s a checkbox next
to EQ enabled, turn it off.
Whether or not this adjustment fixes the problem, this is not a problem a
fully functional sound card should have. Make sure you have the latest drivers,
and consider replacing the card if nothing else seems to work.
Crossfade Your Music
