Why does the graphic equalizer distort my music when i put it to high levels when it didn't before in windows media player 10 + 11? I've tried a full system recovery to no avail. It does it for both mp3 and wma. Has my operating system developed some flaw? But i did notice when i rolled back from wmp11 to wmp10 once that when i clicked into a song somewhere after i initially started it the problem went away. I use graphic equalizer's at high levels in iTunes and real player and they're fine. My operating system is xp sp2.
