WMP ver 9.0, windows XP home, when we play back MP3 files at a loud level the
volume seems to be going up and down, enough that you can notice it. Is this
a problem with WMP, my sound card, or possibly the speakers? I'm not
interested in any kind of volume leveling since the MP3's play fine when they
are on a cd-r played back on a stereo. Thanks

Could you explain the volume going "up and down"? That doesn't equate to
anything I'm familiar with. You mean as if somebody was moving the volume
between Loud and Soft, or ... ? If that's the case, then no, this couldn't
be in WMP, really. I'd suspect the speakers first, since you say it only
happens for a 'loud level'.

loud or soft , up or down, it's about the same to me, it's not a drastic
difference from loud to soft, but it's enough to notice the MP3 is not at the
same level thru out the song. Speakers are Harmon Kardon 3 pc set, sound card
is a OEM audigy from Dell
