Hi there,

I have been compiling a mixture of MP3's and mp'4's onto an audio disk using 
Nero 6.  I am puzzled why the vocal and sax solos on both of these sound 
compressed, really low in the mix and almost a ghostly reverb in some tracks 
when I play the disk on a variety of regular sound systems only to get the same 
result.  I don't know much but I'm just wondering if there should be some level 
that I should be checking in 'sndvol32' or some other dialog.  I am still using 
JAWS 5.10 and cannot check the default setting in sndvol32, if indeed this is 
what I should be looking at, can anyone tell me what the default setting should 
be or where I should be looking to find a solution 'cos it's driving me mad, or 
is it my old analog ears?
The files don't have that sound if I play them from my hard drive, only the 
compilation CD itself.  So it must be something I'm doing wrong in the disk 
burning process I guess.  Pretty please, what could it be?
