Hi there,

        What is the source of your sound files??? Is it an audio track that you have
        added to your project? or is it the audio part of a video clip.

        If its an Audio/Video clip (the source) what program did you use to capture it
        with. If its a program other than Movie Maker and one that gives the ability to
        select Odd or Even (or A or B) frames then was it set correctly. Getting the
        video frames scanned in the wrong order will obviously affect video quality but
        it also makes a mess out of the (I think) sampling rate for the audio track and
        often causes everything to sound like "Donald Duck"

        A video clip called "The Alien Song" where a very good 3D alien sings to the
        music I will survive is a clip that has been doctored so that it plays well In
        Windows Media Player, but when you import it to MM2 the video is fine but the
        Audio is "Donald Duck"

        If an audio clip added to your project what was the sampling rate. Windows
        Media Player happily takes care of obscure or non standard files...I do not
        think Movie Maker is quite so obliging.

        If it is the just an audio clip, what I have done in the past is to use my wave
        editor to re-sample the file and save a new copy. It sometimes takes a bit of
        adjusting so that you keep the quality at an acceptable level.
