Re: New iTunes or new Quicktime has messed up my sound

The sound enhancer is the problem. Turning it off stopped the muffling of the sound. Good pickup and will probably help other folks as well. Thanks.

Yeah; that was the problem with my Mac Powerbook. Since it was a new
machine, I just thought it was the little built-in speakers. But after a while
I started noticing that other apps seemed to produce better sound, so I
asked about it in some forum. I eventually got the same clue as you got,
turned the misnamed "enhancer" off, and the sound got 100% better,
even from the little built-in speakers.

You'd think they wouldn't configure a new machine this way. It's not
a very good demo of the Mac's audio abilities.
