Do you have any Norton security products installed on these machines?

"Ducking" is when the volume of one sound is reduced so that you can hear another sound. "Auto Ducking" is when the "ducking" is triggered automatically. You will have heard the "Auto Duck" effect many times if you ever listen to "pop" radio. Often t...

Encode them at a higher bit rate, or just convert them to WAV format. Do WAV files work?
Here is your "unfixable" file decoded to WAV format:

Steve: I exported to VBR format and it still worked fine. So I'm thinking the difference is unrelated to VBR vs CBR. Yes that's what it means, but at least we have eliminated that possibility.
