My audio is auto-smoothing out pops and dips for some reason.
I used an MP3 file as a track in a video I made once, and it had a split second of corruption near the end. However when I listened to it recently (after not listening to it for a long long time) it was barely noticable.
I have other music files that have abrupt endings where the song ends right on a syllable, but when playing them the sound wil "scale down" as if trying to prevent sudden cut-off.
It *used* to be that when I moved the slider in winamp, paused, stopped, restarted, etc, the sound was a crisp, clean, transition. Now it seems to cross-fade or fade-out every time it does this.
I've been using an Audigy 1 for a while. Curious if it was the hardware on this card, I enabled my onboard audio (RealTek) and started using it for my speakers.
Only, it's still there.
Is this a DirectX issue? It's not really ruining things, unless you count music (which i do). I find it really annoying that it's doing something I never would have told it to do, without my permission, and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
