I'm wondering if I should just wipe the computer clean and start over. Any advice before I make that decision?

I don't really know whats going on here but a couple of questions, how are you connecting your audio, are you using headphone out jack, digital, usb out, via a usb mixer or some other way?

If your using the headphone out can you check sound controls. Right click on speaker icon and select playback devices, check that Speakers is showing as default device, highlight it and select Properties/Enhancements, make sure disable all sound effects box is ticked. then if you have a dolby tab select that and untick any boxes there, then select the advanced tab and untick the boxes for "Allow aplications to take exclusive control & Give exclusive mode applicatins priority, press OK and see if there is any change to your sound problem.

Another thing you can try is Tools/Tempo Mode and select "Normal play mode"
This will prevent you being able to use tempo control but may stop your problem.

Thanks again. I just went and tried all of this and it is still doing it. Gonna pick up an external sound card and try that. Connecting headphone out to mixer. Have tried several cords, to rule that out. But the sound is bad with or without hooking up to another device. hmm, may just be the sound card.

I uninstalled 5.08. and reinstalled 4.11. The sound is good! However, if I click on SEARCH....Hoster Crashes. I can click on everything else and it does fine. Just can't SEARCH. Any ideas? I refuse to let this whip me.
Thanks Again

Did you just reinstall 4.11 as if you did I'm surprised it even opened. Or did you follow the instructions shown in the knowledge base for downgrading to older versions here:

If it's just the search giving you problems have you tried rebuilding the database ?

I did follow the instructions for downgrading. I just got through completely unistalling Hoster and everything to do with it. Rebooted, cheked for windows updates (didn't need any) and did an install of 4.11. Everything in the program works except search. When I click Search, hoster crashes. I will wait for a reply before I reformat the computer. But I am ready to do just that. 4.11 has no distortion on sound. So that is what I am going to put back in when all is said and done. The crashes were a pain, but I can tolerate it. At least I will have my sound back. Oh, and I did rebuild the database. Thanks

I don't know why search should crash it, the only thing I could think of was the database corrupted as the database in later version contains more fields of data that 4.11 can't read but as you say you rebuilt it then I'm stuck for the answer. Plus not having a running copy of 4.11 myself I can't refer back to it.

Perhaps someone else will have the answer
