The dreaded MP3 problem with screeching sound

Julius_ wrote on 4/17/2021, 11:16 PM

In Vegas 17...open a new project...placing a mp3 file, no problems..works as advertised.

In Vegas 18...open a new project...placing the same mp3 file....I get the screeching sound.

Any mp3 I place on timeline I get this problem..Yes I have cleared my cache....and even have the mp3plug2 folder in V18

Re-installing did nothing.

I have Windows 10

Can we get to the bottom of this? I have searched the forum and tried other various solutions...this can't continue to go on...and re-installing vegas may not work for some people (or mask the problem only to occur later on or to another user).

I can provide screen recording if needed.

Thank you

@Julius_ Do you have, or have had, any codec packs installed?

Nope...nothing installed

If I create a brand new windows user, it works just fine. This is so weird and fustrating

Julius_, do you have these mp3 audio files stored on a USB External HardDrive etc?

no. There are on the local drive.

I will have to go back to V17....creating a new user is out of the question.
