Mp3 audio screeches in Vegas 16 and Vegas 15 Pro but not in Vegas 13

The mp3 audio in a video prepared with VMS 13 , when loaded into Vegas 16 ( or Vegas 15 Pro) screeches. I note that checking Properties of track in the VMS13 load it uses plugin mp3plug2.dll, ( i.e. MP3 Audio) however Vegas 16 and Pro15 use mcplug2.dll, ( i.e Main Concept MPEG-1) even though it is same video and same audio. The mp3plug2.dll is in the V16 and the Vegas 15 Pro File I/O file plug-in file. How can I make the mp3plug2.dll the default plug-in so that V16 recognizes mp3 files and plays them properly? The suggestion using Options/SHIFT Properties/Internal/compound and changing usage of Enable So4 Compound Reader for AVC/M2TS from True to False do not work. Would appreciate suggestions as it appears to be a widespread problem with MP3 and VMS.

I have just loaded VMS 16 onto my laptop under the licence with Magix and surprise, surprise, mp3 is handled properly using mp3plug.dll and plays perfectly!!! HOW is same program loaded onto 2 PC's configure itself differently? I did an uninstall and install onto my desktop which still behaved incorrectly.

Possibly your desktops have something installed which is interfering with VMSP 16 somehow. I cannot recall if we've asked this previously but do you have any codec packs installed?

I have had this problem when I added a .mp3 program to my laptop. Somehow they didnt share the .mp3 codec. I had to change the audio to .wav files and it worked fine. I did the upgrade from 16 to 17 and still have problems. It sounds like a Transformer and a high screech when playing or after an edit.
