Wandering if any of you have ran into something like this in the past and might know how to resolve this issue. Anyway, when playing an mp3 file through any media player about 1-2 seconds into the audio track the pitch swings down and then back up a couple seconds later.
You can imagine if you are trying to do work and just want to listen to some music or whatnot this can get annoying after a few songs. This happens anywhere in the track if you try and skip ahead of the first 10 seconds of audio. So it pretty much starts wherever you decide to start the audio track.
I converted a few mp3's back to .wav files and the playback is fine so it has to be somewhere in the codecs or something. So I don't know what might be causing this.
Any help?

Let me know if this helps, its been going on ever since I got back from my deployment to Afghanistan. So not sure if my wife did anything crazy, she isn't too computer savy.
Thanks, D
Have you tried foobar2000? Another idea to try is going into Control Panel/Sounds and Multimedia and playing around with the sliders under Audio/Sound Playback/Advanced/Performance.
