Since starting to use my iPAQ 3800 as a serious music player using both
Pocketmusic and media player, I've noticed that some songs are distorted at
various frequencies. I realised that this was largely to do with the
graphic equaliser on Pocketmusic but turned that off only reduced, it did
not solve the problem.

Is it something to do with Codecs? Can they be updated?
Will upgrading from pocketPC 2002 to windows mobile 2003 and hence, windows
media player 9 for PPC improve the sound quality?

This problem happens at all volumes.

Cheers

Mark

You need to use something with pro-quality effects,
like that thing mentioned in my sig. It doesn't
get any better. Nothing even gets close.

All you can really do is try other players but it sounds like it is your
hardware- the ppc may be using low quality components for the sound.
