Help, schizophrenic audio

[[email protected]]

I set music (Mozart) to a friend's photo gallery, created a web
slideshow and sent him the URL. It sounded fine on my computer, a
friend's terminal in a large company, and on the computer of a
relative in a distant location. But the sound was just awful on the
Mac of my friend...and oddly enough, the same distortion appeared on a
laptop in another room of my home.


So I redid the slideshow (in Flash) using another commercial
application and mailed the URL around. SAME RESULT. Anybody know why?

Here are the two URLs

They both play fine for me on my Sony VAIO sub-notebook.
Nice pictures!

Hmmmm? Mozart's "I'm inclined to knock music." Sounds fine on my pentium
clone with Windoz XP pro.

It sounds like a bug that's in the FFmpeg & friends open source
projects. Maybe your Flash encoder is using that library without the
patches to make it work.

Pretty awful on my Vista laptop. The Mozart sounds as if there are several
strands superimposed, coming and going rather than one piece of music. This
is on both URLs.

The laptop opens the URLs in Internet Explorer, and plays the sounds
directly without needing any further input.

Sounds fine here.
Could it be the volume is turned up too high in the sound cards mixer?

a) Thought it might be a transmission problem. Hooked up the laptop
(wireless) to ethernet. NO IMPROVEMENT.
b) Previously ripped Mozart with Windows Media Player...re-ripped it
with the open source CDex. NO IMPROVEMENT.
c) Re-ripped as a wav file instead of MP3 and rebuilt slideshow. NO
IMPROVEMENT.

Every version runs fine on my primary PC but still plays ugly overdubs
of itself on nearby laptop as well as the friend's Mac...and,
apparently, still on Serge's (see above) computer, as well.
