Re: volume problem using winamp...

That worked, Rock. I restored the system to a week prior and reinstalled
winamp and the problem was gone. Not as satisfying as knowing what happened,
but good enough for me!

I've noticed in the last day or so that as songs play on my latest
version of winamp I keep having to "touch" (slightly adjust) the Wave/mp3
volume control on my general Windows sound control (not winamp) , upon
which the volume will suddenly jump up to 'normal', where before it was
barely
audible. (I have to adjust the 'wave/mp3' master control - adjusting the
master volume control of my sound card or on winamp itself doesn't get
the sound play back to normal). The sound will return to barely audible
at the start of the next song, but as soon as I go to adjust the volume
control on the Wave/mp3 slider (again not on Winamp - on the control for
my sound card) the sound returns to normal.

I got pissed and reinstalled Winamp (newest version) and no difference -
it still does it. So the problem may be with Windows. This problem
started happening just about 1 or 2 days ago - it wasn't doing this
before and MAY have happened when I installed a plugin (which I've since
removed with no benefit) for winamp called streamripper which creates
mp3's out of streaming audio playing through winamp, but probably not. Or
I started playing some streaming audio recently (unusual for me) which
may have started the problem. But I'm just guessing wildly - what I need
is to hear from someone who has had the problem but solved it.

Does anyone please have any ideas of what this is about or what to do to
get my sound back to normal?

Did you try a system restore to a point right before the problem occurred?
