Hi Tom,
uninstall Winamp, and make sure you delete the Winamp directory in the
program files on your C drive.
After that install Winamp version 5.6, which can be gotten on the Winamp
site.

Hello Joe and list: I also have been consulting another list! After
looking around, I finally found where to switch from "Direct Sound to
"wave output (and vise versa) no soap! If I switch to "Wave output (which
actually did resolve the problem) but then if I turn Winamp down, I turn
everything down, which I don't want! So I had to switch back over to
"direct sound!" As for unloading Jaws as you suggested, again no soap!
When Jaws is unloaded, there seems to be no way to use the arrow keys or
anything else! Since Winamp is my default player, I've not tried Windows
Media; I'm not even sure that you can fast-forward through a file with
Windows Media anymore (I do know that you cannot go back) I also know that
you cannot go directly to a certain spot in a file with Windows Media like
you can with Winamp; these are reasons why I prefer Winamp over what few
audio MP3 players I have used! I do appreciate all of your efforts to try
and help! Hopefully (one way or another) I'll get this resolved and will
report back to you if and when I do!

tom,
This was a long shot. it may have no bearing on your problem at
all.
start winamp. remove JFW. then see if you can navigate the track data in
winamp.
Had any luck with the output pluggins?
any luck with fast forwarding in WMP?

Joe and list: Just tried that; problem there is: without Jaws, I can't
do anything at all with Winamp as (and someone correct me if I'm wrong)
but it uses the Jaws scripts I think!

Hey Tom,
Does this happen without a screen reader loaded? can you set that up to
find out?
regards
Joe

Hey Joe and list: Thanks for responding; may give this a try! Just
to clarify something: the actual "sound" isn't so bad; it's just that,
if something is playing at low volume; let's say I want to listen to a
stream that doesn't play at a high volume, I'll get that static (or
hiss) or whatever! For those who don't know, in Winamp, to advance
through the file, you can hit either the left or right arrow key (I
know it works this way with Jaws) may be something different with other
screen readers; anyhow, one can also hold that arrow key down to
advance through the file quicker; it is here that gets me into trouble
as I get that bad sound! But will try Joe's suggestion (unless I get
one that may be better) and see if this clears up the problem (I've had
this happen a long time ago) but don't remember how it was resolved!

tom,
You could try an alternative output pluggin.
go to prefferences control-p, press letter P till you hear plug ins,
press O till you hear output, then tab to the list, there is a
waveout, and a direct sound.
Select the plugin that is diffedrent to the current one, tab to close
accepting the default settings.
see houw your audio sounds after this change.
Then maybe try playing the same file in, for example, windows media.
don't know how you fast forward in WMP though.
good luck,
Joe

Hello list: I assume that not many people saw my original post,
concerning a problem I'm having with Winamp since I re-installed it
over the weekend! So I shall repost it again in hopes that someone
can tell me how to fix this: if I'm listening to a file in Winamp;
then I want to skip ahead, using the arrow keys, I get a horrible
noise that I cannot get rid of..except if I restart the computer!
Even shutting Winamp down won't stop it! Also, I notice that if I
have Winamp playing at low volume, I'm hearing some white noise; it's
like a "hissing" sound! Hopefully somebody can tell me what to do; I
think it's something maybe in preferences that needs to be either
checked or unchecked; whichever the case, I very much would like to
be able to get this resolved! And I'm sure there are many on this
list who use Winamp as their player of choice, so please feel free to
jump in there and let me know what I need to do?
