Thank you! I do use ffdshow for other things, but I disabled it for mp3s. It solved my problem perfectly. Thanks again for the help.

Well, I opened it in GraphEdit, but I'm not really familiar with Graphedit or how to make sense of the filters. Is there something specific in that program I should be looking for? It shows the mp3 file, an MPEG-I Stream Splitter, ffdShow Audio Decoder, and Default DirectSound Output. Sorry if I'm a little slow with this. I do appreciate the help.

Today I was burning audio CDs, just as I've done dozens of times before. Then when I went to play them, they were coming out with really low-quality sound. Kinda tinny with a lot of noise. Now, this is the first time I've tried burning CDs since I bought a new computer, so the only constant from before is the media type. I tried burning them at full speed, and at 24x, with the same result. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I 14:52:23 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
