Why is my music distorted?
Audio distortion can occur for many different reasons.

Make sure that you have the correct audio device selected for playback. This
should be set up correctly by default, but in rare cases, you may need to
change this setting by doing the following:

1.
In Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, and then click Options.

2.
On the Devices tab, click Speakers, and then click the Properties button.

3.
In the Speaker Properties dialog box, click the Advanced button.

4.
In the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties dialog box, verify that all
settings on all tabs are correct for your computer.


If your music sounds magnified or overblown during playback, try turning off
or adjusting the equalizer settings in the Player by doing the following:

1.
Click the View menu, click Enhancements, and then click Graphic Equalizer.

2.
In the Enhancements pane (near the bottom of the Player), click the Turn
off link to turn off equalization. If the link text says Turn on,
equalization is already turned off.

- or -

• Select an equalizer preset (such as Default, Rock, or Jazz). Click the
preset link above the equalizer slider controls, and then select one of the
presets in the list that is displayed.

• Move the equalizer slider controls to the levels that you want to use.

• Click the Reset link to revert the equalizer to the Default preset.

This problem do not occur only with windows media player. This is
happening with every player whenever I play audio or video file.
Everything works smoothly in beginning. But after 15 -20 minute music
suddenly gone and noise starts coming.
I read somewhere in Microsoft site that windows XP has vulnerability
which cause this problem in some systems. Microsoft has also released
a patch for this. But I am not able to find that patch.
