Hi,

I wish to ask if anyone also have same feeling that Winamp running on
Wine (ALSA output) have better sound quality than players like VLC,
XMMS, Amarok and even songbird just as many others? 

What's wrong with decoding of audio if I have such feeling running
now Winamp?

Thanks,
Mateusz M.

Everything sounds normal on my system... can you describe the sound
difference at all? Maybe winamp is doing some kind of equalizing which
changes the sound.

Also, check your mixer levels, if they are set to 100% try to make it
lower. I used to have a computer that would sound horrible if the
levels were much more than 50%.
